Greg Gallagher has joined United Way of Anchorage’s senior leadership team as Vice President of Philanthropy.

In this new position, Gallagher leads a team working to connect corporations, philanthropic organizations, and individual donors to impactful work in our community. Previously, Gallagher was United Way’s individual giving officer since 2022.

A graduate of Claremont McKenna College, Gallagher earned a master’s degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Gallagher has more than ten years of fundraising experience working for institutions such as Covenant House Alaska and UAA.

“I’ve lived and worked all over the country,” says Gallagher. “By far, Anchorage is the city where I’ve found the greatest solidarity among citizens. I’m humbled by the opportunity to continue serving this community and honored to rally with United Way supporters to help our neighbors who need us most.”

Gallagher lives in Anchorage with his wife and two sons.

New Oil on the North Slope
August 2026
In mid-May it was 19°F and windy at the Aurora Hotel in Deadhorse. As I stood in the parking lot surveying the surroundings, I chatted with a gentleman from Texas who works for Nabors Alaska Drilling and was in town as part of a crew tasked with getting a previously inactive drill rig up and running. He said that, according to his supervisor, spring is the windy season on the North Slope. The gusts were bracing, numbing the fingers holding my camera, but most of my attention was focused on what I could capture through the lens: work trucks, shipping containers, buildings obscured by snow whipped up by the wind.
