The Oscar Anderson Museum

The Oscar Anderson House, constructed in 1915, is one of the oldest homes in Anchorage, and the only House Museum. Oscar Anderson, by his own account, was the 18th person to arrive in the "Tent City" at Ship Creek in early 1915. Anderson was an active business leader in early Anchorage having interests in meat packing, coal production, air transportation, and newspaper publishing. In 1976, Elizabeth Anderson, Oscar's widow, donated the house to the Municipality of Anchorage and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. After an extensive restoration between 1978 and 1982 the Oscar Anderson House was turned into a museum. Today we at the Alaska Association for Historic Preservation run it in partnership with the Municipality of Anchorage.

Throughout Alaska there are many natural areas of historic significance and areas where the natural environment needs to be ensured protection. We at AAHP work in partnership with communities throughout the state to help ensure this happens through securing funding through grants, ensuring the lands are regularly monitored by qualified professionals, and providing the administrative support needed to ensure any obstacles that exist to securing funding or permits for monitoring or necessary improvments can be overcome in the proper way and time limits.

Friends of Nike Site Summit (FONSS) is an Anchorage community organization dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of Nike Site Summit. We are partnered with the Alaska Association for Historic Preservation (AAHP), a statewide 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of Alaska's historic and prehistoric resources. FONSS formed in 2007 to advocate for the preservation of Nike Site Summit as a memorial to the thousands of men and women that served during the Cold War. They host tours at the Nike Site Summit throughout the year, an annual dinner on site, and have been responsible for ensuring the site wouldn't be demolished, as it was slated to be just over a decade ago, due to their preservation work that has brought the site back to historic glory.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
