Corporate giving

Alaska Airlines believes in strengthening and supporting the communities our employees, neighbors, and guests call home. Partnering with nonprofit organizations, we provide in-kind donations and sponsorships for fundraising events that enable nonprofits to build strong foundations and continue their life-changing work in the communities served by Alaska Airlines.

We prioritize partnerships with nonprofits across several key areas of focus, including:

Youth Success

We believe that the better future we all envision for youth begins with the work we do today. Whether it's access to mentorship, an afterschool program, or leadership development, we're proud to partner with nonprofits that understand the urgency of youth needs and have the resources to meet them.

Career Readiness

We believe a pathway to a great career should be available to everyone. With a focus on engaging people with the greatest need for opportunities, we team up with nonprofits committed to breaking down barriers across every milestone of career readiness, from education and skills training to networking, interview prep, and more.

Care and Belonging

We believe communities are strongest when every person has the opportunity to thrive. Through our contributions to nonprofits, we help uplift individuals, build meaningful connections, and create opportunities for all to succeed.
