Contributions

The Alaska Mining Hall of Fame Foundation is funded through donations of money, time and effort, and through sales at this Museum. The Foundation is a tax-exempt organization, so all donations are tax deductible.

Donations to the Foundation should be mailed to:

Fairbanks, Alaska 99708

The continued operations of the Alaska Mining Hall of Fame Foundation (AMHF)—a 501 c-3 non-profit-- is made possible from various income sources. Donations are graciously accepted. The AMHF would like to acknowledge individuals and organizations that have made financial contributions. These generous donations allow us to publish the Paystreak Newsletter, maintain this website, organize and carry out induction ceremonies Statewide, and especially pay for the expenses of the AMHF Museum in Fairbanks, which is being leased from Candy Waugaman. Contributions allow the AMHF Foundation to plan for future expansion plans and acquisition of materials.

We thank all contributors, regardless of the level of their donation, which are: Copper ($1-$99), Silver ($100-$499), Gold ($500-$999); '98er, ($1,000) and Platinum (>$1,000). Some of the more recent contributions have been in memory of legislator, and placer gold miner Robert Bettisworth, gold miner Walt Wigger, and mine educator Jim Madonna—who recently passed away. The AMHF especially thanks Teck Resources, operator of the Red Dog Zinc-Lead-Silver Mine, and the Bill f Foundation for their generous donations. Karen Erickson became our newest 98'er in 2016. Included below are those that have contributed to the Pick-Click-Give Program through October 31, 2016, as well as those that independently sent in donations to the Foundation via surface mail. One of our most important contributors is the man who administers this website, Clarence Griffin. We greatly thank him for the original design of the website and updating content over the years.

Here is a listing of recent contributors. A majority of donations at the Copper and Silver levels are from the State of Alaska Pick-Click-Give Program. Gold and Platinum levels generally constitute separate contributions. The 2018 donations list is current as of October 25th, 2018
