Description
The Mining Impacts and Prevention Fund, administered by the Alaska Conservation Foundation, provides support for advocacy, mitigation, and prevention initiatives that address the environmental and community impacts of hardrock mining in Alaska. The fund seeks to empower organizations working to prevent or reduce adverse mining effects, foster collaboration, and promote responsible resource development. Preference is given to projects that address statewide mining impacts holistically, rather than focusing on a single site or issue.
