Now in its 10th year, Pick.Click.Give. has paid out over $18.5 million state-wide to nearly 1,000 individual nonprofits across the state. As of April 2, Alaskans added an additional $2.5 million to that figure. While Alaskans who have filed for their PFD may add or adjust pledges through August 31, 2018, the April report is an accurate reflection of how the philanthropic community will benefit when checks are disbursed in October.
This year, 24,155 Alaskans made 41,205 pledges totaling $2,533,575 to 634 nonprofits. This number reflects a smaller percentage of Alaskans participating in the program since 2015, when the PFD was $2,072. In 2018, the average gift per person totaled $104.89, amounting to $5.26 more than the average gift per donor of $99.63 in 2015.
Alaskans can still make a first-time pledge or adjust their current pledge until August 41, 2018 at pdf.alaska.gov
