Time is running out to Pick. Click. Give

August 25th 1:27 am | Alaska Newspapers Staff

Alaskans who filed for the 2011 Permanent Fund Dividend between Jan. 1 and March 31 have until Aug. 31 to make Pick.Click.Give. charitable contributions on the state's PFD Division homepage, choosing between over 400 nonprofit causes.

So far nearly 20,000 Alaskans have pledged over $1.5 million, said Jordan Marshall, special projects manager with the Rasmuson Foundation.

The PFD Division homepage, www.pfd.state.ak.us, features an "add or change a charitable contribution" link. Instructions for making additional gifts are at www.PickClickGive.org.

Look for the "How to Donate" link in the QuickLinks section on the right hand side of the homepage.

2011 marks the third year for Pick..Click.Give., and each year Alaskans have increased the amount of donations they make through the program. Recent research shows that an average of over half the donations are coming from people making their first philanthropic gift, the Rasmuson Foundation said..
