Members Making Change Drive Raises More than $123,000

Jul 29, 2019 | Transportation

ANCHORAGE—The Alaska USA Foundation launched the sixth annual Members Making Change donation drive, both online and in Alaska USA Federal Credit Union branches. 

The drive raised more than $123,000 from the generous donations of Alaska USA members and employees. This was the second year Alaska USA employees joined in the fundraising efforts through a voluntary payroll deduction, donating $71,700 of the total raised. The Alaska USA Foundation will use the collected funds to assist nonprofit organizations that provide needs-based programs that benefit children, veterans, and active duty military and their families in the communities the credit union serves.

“This year the Alaska USA Foundation completed an amazing milestone, surpassing more than $2 million distributed to charitable organizations,” said Dan McCue, executive director, Alaska USA Foundation. “This wouldn’t be possible without the incredible generosity of Alaska USA members and employees.”

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.
