As an outcome of the climate change focus of the Ottawa Congress in 2015, the NWTALA initiated a Norther Research Fund with the LACF. This fund will be targeted at providing $5000 a year in support of work that relates to northern areas. At the beginning of 2017, the fund was sitting at $5,000. In order to have the fund be active, Peter Briggs, president of Corvus Design in Anchorage, past president of the CSLA and member of the LACF Board of Directors, made a personal donation of over $10,000 as a matching challenge to other individuals and firms to get the fund to it's $25,000 goal. Donations can be made to LACF with the notation that they go to the Northern Research Fund. Here's hoping others will rise to the challenge! A big LACF Thank you goes to Peter Briggs!
