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.

Fairbanks, Alaska 99708

The continued operations of the Alaska Mining Hall of Fame (AMHF) Foundation --a 501 c-3 non-profit organization—is made possible from various income sources. Donations are graciously accepted. The AMHF Foundation provides a list of those organizations and individuals who have made contributions between 2019 and 2024 (the last five years). These generous donations allows the Foundation to publish the Paystreak Newsletter, which is produced for induction ceremonies; maintain our website; organize and conduct inductions ceremonies Statewide; and help pay for our museum at 460 Cushman in downtown Fairbanks where the foundation leases about 3,500 square feet from Charles Cole.

From 2003 to 2021, the website was maintained by Clarence Griffin, formerly of Fairbanks. We thank Clarence for providing the original website design and updating materials over a period of 20 years and keep this important communication link to those interested in mining history. The current website is being maintained by Scott Southwood.
