Advocacy

The Trust, in collaboration with our partner boards, the Governor's Council on Disabilities and Special Education, Alaska Mental Health Board, Advisory Board on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, Alaska Commission on Aging, Alaska Brain Injury Network and Alaska Suicide Prevention Council, provides leadership, advocacy and funding for the development of programs to improve the lives of Trust beneficiaries and works closely with the Alaska Legislature to determine funding for programs and services.
