Friends of UAMN

The Friends of the University of Alaska Museum of the North are a group of engaged community members who support the museum. Our purpose is to build a bridge of understanding and knowledge about the museum's treasures, along with the research and other work the collections support. We do this through learning opportunities with the staff and curators, engaging with exhibits, and taking on special projects.

The Friends of UAMN support and advocate for public and private funding of the museum as an educational institution and for the scientific and cultural research that it makes possible. We celebrate what’s happening at the museum, and we help spread the word about this incredible museum.

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.  Your membership fee and donations to Friends of the University of Alaska Museum of  the North (FUAMN) goes directly toward supporting the Museum where the need is the greatest. Please consider becoming a Friend.

Our EIN is: 83-1761181.

If you are required to take a required minimum distribution (RMD) from your IRA, consider making a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) to the Friends of UAMN. A QCD can count toward your RMD and may offer tax benefits. Please consult your tax advisor or CPA for guidance.
