North Star Community Foundation

Solarize BRITE is a new pilot project project that is aiming to support nonprofits in implementing resilience-focused energy efficiency upgrades and solar installs. With the support of the US Department of Energy and National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Information Insights, Solarize Fairbanks, and the Cold Climate Housing Research Center, the BRITE team is working with a handful of nonprofits in the Fairbanks and Denali areas on energy audits, contracting for retrofits and solar, post-energy audits, and fundraising for their energy upgrades!

The mission of the Fairbanks Queer Collective (FQC) is to build community through performance art, community outreach & engagement, and to create opportunities to expand safe queer spaces in the Fairbanks community.

Fairbanks Skate Park Coalition was formed in April 2016 by a group of action sport riders who want to create safe, fun skate parks in the Fairbanks North Star Borough. Since that time, they have gained non-profit status, assisted in designing and refurbishing the North Pole Skate Park and then hosted a grand opening and competition.

Friends of SS Nenana is a state non-profit dedicated to the renovation and preservation of the sternwheeler SS Nenana located in Pioneer Park in Fairbanks, Alaska. The wooden-hulled, western Rivers-style steam sternwheel passenger riverboat Nenana is one of only three steam-powered passenger sternwheelers of any kind left in the U.S., and the only large wooden sternwheeler.
