Philanthropy is a vital part of Alyeska’s mission, putting into practice our stated intention of being a good corporate citizen.  In aligning corporate giving with our goals, we believe we have an opportunity to shine the spotlight on grantee successes, inspire action among stakeholders, create an environment for collaboration, advance key issues, and, perhaps most importantly of all, play a visible role as a good community citizen.   

We support organizations which focus on providing services and opportunities that match our philosophy.  We also look for organizations which our employees support, whether through membership, board participation, individual contributions, or volunteering.  Most of our donations are directed to communities in which Alyeska employees live and work; particularly in Anchorage, Fairbanks and along the pipeline corridor, Valdez and the Prince William Sound.   

Alyeska Pipeline Service Company’s giving program aligns with the following essential core values: quality of life, workforce development, employee volunteerism, environmental stewardship, personal and community safety, youth and adult education, and community diversity. 

Alyeska Pipeline Service Co. Focuses on Three Major Areas for Funding:

1.       Organizations that are aligned with Alyeska’s core values and philosophy, particularly organizations that provide essential services to underserved populations, young people, arts and culture enrichment, personal and community safety, and environmental stewardship. 

2.       Nonprofit organizations meeting the company’s guidelines in which our employees are involved either through financial contributions or by volunteering their time (Alyeska’s Matching Gift and Volunteer Matching Plans) 

3.  Educational and workforce development programs that train Alaskans for skilled jobs and prepare current and future employees for new job opportunities.
