ABOUT ACT
Alaska Children’s Trust is the statewide lead organization in the prevention of child abuse and neglect. It is our goal to ensure all Alaskan children and youth have the tools and resources necessary to grow up safe and healthy. We work towards our vision of an Alaska where all children, youth, and families can thrive through strategic advocacy, investing resources, generating funds, and convening organizations.
ACT, founded in 1988, is focused on changing the way Alaskans think about child abuse and neglect prevention, focusing on community activities and public policies that prioritize primary prevention. Since our conception, ACT has led the way in building awareness, providing education, and bringing communities together statewide to ensure children, youth, families, and communities have the knowledge, skills, support, and resources to thrive. When children, youth, families, and communities thrive, the risk of child abuse and neglect and many of the social determinants that cause abuse and neglect to occur are greatly reduced. ACT recognizes that healthy child development is an essential building block for community and economic development.
ACT fulfills three critical roles in the overarching work to prevent child abuse and neglect: (1) advocate, (2) convener, and (3) catalyst. As an advocate, ACT strives to actively influence public policy within political, economic, and social systems and institutions and build advocacy skills within individuals and organizations across the state. As a convener, ACT fosters sincere and trusting relationships across the state that result in forward momentum toward building a safe and healthy community for children, youth, and families. And, as a catalyst, ACT encourages a new culture, methodology, and ideas to fight an epidemic that has plagued Alaska for decades. ACT achieves this through our grantmaking process.
