01What it does

What Norton Sound Economic Development Corporation does

Mission

To develop and sustain new and ongoing economic activity in the Norton Sound region. The Company's mission outlines its intentions to provide a balance between local economic development oriented towards the residents in the region and active participation in the distant-water fisheries in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands. The Company implements programs to educate, train, and employ people of the region; build infrastructure to help support the new and existing fisheries; start new fisheries through locally initiated development efforts; support the local salmon, herring, crab, and halibut fishermen; restore salmon runs in the region for both commercial and subsistence users; provide loans for gear, vessels, and secure equity interests in companies and vessels. The Company has not entered into any significant long-term agreements or commitments other than its agreements with the harvesters of its CDQ allocations.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.

How it's funded, over time

Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
