Mutual Aid Network of Anchorage - MANA has provided $7,396.16 in payday loan relief to 12 Alaskans, helping save an additional $10,000 that would have gone to paying down the over 400% APR interest rates on these loans.

The program will remain open until we run out of funds. Folks who currently have a payday loan can apply for aid here:
