Support the Bristol Bay Foundation

There are a few ways you can help support the Bristol Bay Foundation achieve our mission.

Our Mission

To provide support for and encourage BBNC shareholders and descendants to pursue educational opportunities and to promote and preserve the cultural heritage of the Bristol Bay region, its indigenous people, and subsistence way-of-life.

Quyanaa, Quyana, Chin’an to Our 2025 Alumni Circle Champions

The Bristol Bay Foundation extends a heartfelt Quyanaa, Quyana, China’an, to everyone who gave during our 2025 Alumni Circle Campaign!

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, 50 gifts came in to support BBF’s mission, and we're especially proud to share that we reached 100% giving from both our Board of Directors and staff. This level of participation speaks volumes about the shared commitment across our community to uplift Bristol Bay students and culture.

This year’s campaign was full of heart. From alumni stories and sibling spotlights to contributions from proud parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles and returning & new alumni members, the spirit of giving back was front and center.

Together, our Alumni Circle Champions are building opportunities, celebrating educational journeys, and honoring where we come from.

Quyana for being part of this movement.

We look forward to gathering in the spirit of giving once again, watch for the return of our Alumni Circle Campaign in March 2026.

Participate in Neqa in Bristol Bay!

Neqa in Bristol Bay is our Foundation’s signature fundraiser that we have held annually since 2018.

This event raises funds and awareness of Bristol Bay Foundation while celebrating one of our region’s most cherished resources—salmon. We also utilize this time to bring awareness to Bristol Bay's unique cultural heritage.

Become a Volunteer

Volunteers play a crucial role in the success of the Bristol Bay Foundation. They bring a wide range of skills, expertise, and enthusiasm to help the organization achieve our mission.

We often rely on volunteers to provide essential services, such as fundraising, as a board or committee member, event planning, and community outreach.

Additionally, volunteers can help reduce costs and increase the efficiency of our operations. They are also passionate advocates for our organization and can help spread our message and values throughout our larger Bristol Bay community. Overall, volunteers provide invaluable support to the Bristol Bay Foundation and are an essential part of our success.
