Friends of Alaska National Wildlife Refuges
“Promote the conservation of Alaska’s national wildlife refuges.”
The work
What they do
Advocacy and education for Alaska’s 16 national wildlife refuges, which constitute the majority of the National Wildlife Refuge System acreage.
How they run
Small and lean
We don’t hold a detailed federal filing for this group. Groups this size often file the short form or run below the IRS reporting line, so there’s no budget or crew to show here, and that’s no knock: some of the sharpest local defense in the country runs this way.
