About us
A legacy of public service.
An Alaska story that began with a commitment to education and opportunity.
Our beginnings
Established in 1977.
The Fund was established by Pegge Begich, Gene Kennedy, and friends to carry forward the educational and public-service ideals of the late Congressman Nicholas J. Begich.
Today the mission remains focused on supporting Alaskans who want to make a difference through education, government, and public service.
