Stewardship for Generations

Celebrating 50 Years of the Alaska Permanent Fund

The Alaska Permanent Fund was created by Alaskans, for Alaskans, to transform a finite natural resource into lasting, renewable value for generations to come. By investing a portion of Alaska's oil revenues, the Fund helps secure long-term financial stability for the state, supports public services, and protects the future of Alaska's economy, ensuring today's resource wealth continues to benefit Alaskans well beyond the present.
