Areas Of Giving

To provide support for a wide range of concerns and needs, our Corporate Giving Program efforts are focused on the following areas:

Medical (Emergency/Research)

Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air regularly respond to the need for health and human services relief, especially in the state of Alaska, where transportation infrastructure limits access to medical facilities. Through in-kind contributions, we assist hundreds of individual emergency and medical transportation needs. Our partnerships with Angel Flight West and the Shiners' Hospitals provide well over 1,000 complimentary passenger seats each year for those needing treatment in another city.

Social/Community Services

From Make-A-Wish Foundations to Special Olympics, Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air have established many partnerships within our communities. Our in-kind support of air transportation enables many organizations to raise money, grant special wishes to children and even help athletes get to their competitions. Across our system, our employees use their hearts and hands serving as board members with non-profit organizations, volunteering in their communities and participating in fundraisers.

Education

Educational institutions and programs that are of key importance to our employees and their families are supported through our Employee Gift Matching Programs. Together, Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air have supported our employees working to enhance the quality of education by donating over $100,000 to educational programs.

Arts/Culture

Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air are proud to celebrate the strength and artistic excellence of the many arts organizations within our communities. Through our giving programs, we focus on both art education and creating increased resources for the arts. We believe that building audiences and generating support for the arts are crucial to the growth of our youth and continued strength of our communities. We are pleased to continue our support for organizations like the Anchorage Symphony and the Sitka Summer Music Festival as well as ArtsFund and PONCHO, who provide funding and services to many arts and cultural organizations in the Pacific Northwest.

Environment

Being environmentally responsible is a critical part of being a good corporate citizen and a good neighbor. By minimizing the effect of our operations on the environment and ensuring we're in compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, we are working to protect the earth's resources for future generations. To that end, Alaska Airlines' ongoing transition to a modern fleet of fuel-efficient, next-generation Boeing 737 aircraft and Horizon Air's transition to fuel-efficient Q400s includes the benefit of significant reductions in carbon emissions. Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air are also proud to be associated with The Nature Conservancy of Alaska, Washington and Oregon, as well as other environmental organizations.
