TOGETHER, WE ARE STRONGER
THE IMPACT OF GIFTS TO THE HEALTHY ALASKA NATIVES FOUNDATION
The Healthy Alaska Natives Foundation (HANF) works to raise awareness and funding for needs of the Alaska
Tribal Health System. That’s why we support key initiatives that help deliver sustainable, effective and culturally
relevant health care, from providing improvements at medical facilities that serve Alaska Native people, to
supporting wellness and prevention programs that impact Alaska Native populations, to advancing healthy
village environments around Alaska.
Never in our history has our work been more important than in the last year.
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the Alaska Native Tribal
Health Consortium’s (ANTHC) number one priority has been to ensure all
178,000 Alaska Native people in our state have access to COVID-19 testing,
health care, masks and other supplies and ongoing support to mitigate the
impacts of COVID-19.
HANF worked side by side with ANTHC, Tribal partners, donors, caregivers
and patients to ensure our response made an impact.
