Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing Alaska today. Severe weather extremes, threatened infrastructure and food security concerns worry Arctic residents.
Give to IARC and help us make a difference
IARC research responds to the challenges of our times, supporting Alaskans through trusted climate change science and partnering for place-based adaptation planning.
In responding to these needs, IARC engages the next generation of scientists by inspiring teachers, K-12 students, early career professionals, and other knowledge holders to learn about the changes taking place in the Arctic, share their knowledge, and explore ways to investigate, talk about, and adapt to change.
Your gift helps IARC continue with our vision to make a difference through research that is useful, grounded in place, welcoming, innovative and collaborative.
Thank you for supporting our work!
Four ways to support IARC
The IARC Fund
Help support IARC early-career scientists, students, and faculty.
The fund allows IARC investigators to pursue new and emerging research and outreach activities for which funds are not available from other sources. IARC builds bridges between local, national and global communities to foster collaborations that advance the study of the Arctic in a global context and work towards a common goal of understanding and adapting to Arctic climate change.
Alaska Climate Research Makes a Difference Fund
Help improve the lives of Alaskans needing science-based solutions.
With your support, IARC scientists can build strong relationships with Indigenous communities, the private sector, and other partners. Your support also brings trusted climate change information to public venues and engages students in meaningful climate change research.
Alaska Arctic Observatory and Knowledge Hub Fund
Help sustain and expand a network of Indigenous observers.
Gifts help inspire the next generation of Indigenous and allied scholars, and mobilize more than 12,000 environmental observations for Indigenous-led stewardship and Arctic research. Learn more about this program on the AAOKH website.
Inspiring Girls* Expedition Support Fund
Help support the Inspiring Girls* Expeditions Alaska programs.
These programs empower youth through science, art, and outdoor exploration. Open to all and led by professional scientists, artists and wilderness guides, these expeditions empower youth through tuition-free, multi-day backcountry expeditions. They also foster the next generation of scientists and creative leaders through student-led project development, execution and communication.
