Our Community Work

Our commitment to fundraising and volunteer activity has existed since our founding. In 1958, our first year as an organization, members raised $500 for The Mayor's Hospital Fund. Since that time, we have raised and donated over $1 million for Anchorage-area non-profit organizations.

In the mid-1990s, our leadership established a separate 501(c)3 entity (the Anchorage Petroleum Women's Foundation) to allow us to more effectively fundraise for local non-profit organizations. Although a separate entity, the Anchorage Petroleum Women's Foundation operates under the umbrella of the Anchorage Petroleum Women's Association and its leadership. We invite you to learn more about our Foundation, volunteer opportunities, and fundraising efforts by reviewing the pages listed below.
