JUNEAU - Alaskans could donate a portion, or all, of their Permanent Fund dividend to certain community, educational and charitable organizations under a bill that has passed the House and Senate.

House Bill 166, by Haines Republican Bill Thomas, would place a checkoff box on the PFD application.
Each campus of the University of Alaska would be eligible, as would organizations that offer programs that serve youths, the elderly and low-income people or cover arts, health care, recycling, public broadcasting, libraries and zoos, among others.
Political groups would not be eligible.
The Rasmuson Foundation, the state's largest charitable foundation, has pledged to fully fund the administrative costs of the program for its first three years.
The bill now goes to Gov. Sarah Palin.
