246th Meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS 246)

Donate to the SocialOffset Campaign

AAS has partnered with SocialOffset to offer meeting attendees the opportunity to contribute to local organizations in the Anchorage Alaska area that make a positive difference in people’s lives and the local community.

 

We invite you to use this campaign to take meaningful action and offset any internal conflict you may have about tax spending in the destination that doesn’t align with your values by supporting local charities that do.

 

We worked with SocialOffset to select vetted charities that support reproductive freedom, LGBTQ+ equality, racial justice, environmental sustainability, and housing security in the Anchorage Alaska area.

 

Reproductive Freedom – Choices Inc

Recognizes that physical needs are crucial to rehabilitation and lifelong well being, the Organization’s mission is to help individuals towards wellness and recovery by encouraging individual choice and ownership.

 

LGBTQ+ Equality – Choosing Our Roots

Ensure that all queer Alaskan youth and young adults have access to safe homes, supportive communities, and opportunities to thrive.

 

Racial Justice – Alaska Native Justice Center Inc

Promote justice through culturally-based advocacy, prevention, and intervention initiatives to restore dignity, respect, and humanity to Alaska natives.

 

Environmental Sustainability – Alaska Botanical Garden

Dedicated to showcasing the beauty and value of Alaska’s gardens and natural areas through science, education, and recreation using organic and sustainable practices.

 

Housing Security – Anchorage Coalition to End Homelessness

Provide dynamic leadership to unite Anchorage in making homelessness rare, brief and one-time. 

 

We worked with SocialOffset to select vetted charities from these cause areas to maximize your impact. Every dollar counts, and 100% of your tax-deductible donation goes to the charity of your choice, so please give what you can.
