The Alaska Policy Forum (APF) is a conservative nonprofit think tank located in Anchorage, Alaska.[3][4][5] The Alaska Policy Forum is a member of the State Policy Network.[6]
History
[edit | edit source]APF was started in 2009 and received Internal Revenue Service 501(c)(3) nonprofit status.[7] In 2014, the group was entirely volunteer-run with no paid employees.[6] Members of the AFP's board have included Nick Begich III, the grandson of former Representative Nick Begich Sr. and a candidate for Alaska's at-large congressional district in 2022.[8]
Policy areas
[edit | edit source]APF conducts and publishes research on education, taxes, health care, welfare, regulations, and state budget in Alaska.[6][9] The group is active in education policy and is a proponent for increased school choice.[6] The organization compiles and publishes the Performance Evaluation for Alaska's Schools (PEAKS) Assessment results.[10]
APF is most well known for publishing public sector payroll data.[11]
Funding
[edit | edit source]According to the organization's website, Alaska Policy Forum does not accept government funding or grants, but instead relies on donations from individuals and businesses.[12] The Alaska Policy Forum was started with support from Donors Capital Fund and Donors Trust, two related donor-advised funds.[6] The Alaska Policy Forum received $192,000 from Donors Trust in 2009 and 2010.[6]
