MTA Member Fridays

In appreciation of our members, MTA hosts a special event every month called Member Friday. Stop by one of our three stores on the first Friday of each month from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Enjoy a little snack and chat with us. You’ll never know what to expect. We want you to feel like you own the place because, as a matter of fact, you do.

Sponsorship & Donation Guidelines

As a member-owned cooperative, MTA believes in supporting the communities we serve by providing sponsorships and donations to various organizations. Specifically, we support those who encourage youth participation, community spirit, cooperation, and education.

Sponsorship is not considered for travel or travel-related expenses; individuals or organizations based outside of Alaska; organizations of primarily religious or political focus including ballot initiatives and elections; and organizations that discriminate on the basis of age, sex, race, color, national origin, religion, or creed.

To request sponsorship for your tax exempt, nonprofit organization, please contact MTA Public Relations several months in advance, with the following information:

• A brief description of the organization, including a contact name and number.
• A description of the event and its benefits to the community.
• The total amount requested from MTA and how the funds would be used.
• Please explain in detail how your organization plans to recognize MTA as a sponsor.
• Let us know if MTA has helped your organization in the past.
