The Alaska Community Foundation set up an online portal Saturday to start accepting donations.
Kemppel’s first call was to Diane Kaplan, CEO and president of the Rasmuson Foundation. Kaplan wrote a check for $25,000. Within minutes, Kaplan said, Alaska Airlines had matched that $25,000 donation. Saltchuk, a transportation and logistics company, also donated $25,000 and Grant Aviation had given $5,000 to go along with $5,000 donated by the Alaska Community Foundation itself.
Where exactly that money will go is unclear. Kaplan said that “information is still trickling in” about the greatest areas of need and what will be required for the recovery and rebuilding process. “Cash is king,” he said, urging Alaskans to give to “reputable” charities like the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army.
