Coeur Alaska, owner and operator of the Kensington Mine, has been a part of the Juneau community since 1987. The company is a strong supporter of educational and youth activities and has made
monetary donations on an annual basis to many sports teams, clubs, groups, activities, and special projects. In late 2024 Coeur Alaska created an endowment fund to provide sustainable support to Juneau’s school district and students. The fund was created with an initial investment of $125,000 – $100,000 contributed by Coeur Alaska, and $25,000 generously donated by Coeur Alaska’s partner
Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp. The fund will support extracurricular programs for the district’s K-12 students.
“Our goal is to bring lasting value to the community in which we work and live. It’s important for us to leave a positive legacy that supports the next generations,” said Rochelle Lindley, Coeur Alaska External
Affairs Manager. “The establishment of the endowment fund will enable Coeur Alaska to continue financially supporting Juneau’s students long beyond our life of mine.”
“On behalf of the students, staff, and families in the Juneau School District, I would like to express our gratitude to Coeur Alaska for their generous support of student extracurricular programs in the district,” said Frank Hauser, Superintendent of the Juneau School District. “Extracurricular activities play an important role in student engagement and achievement, and we thank Coeur Alaska for supporting our students now and into
the future.”
