Shareholder Distributions
Shareholder distributions are set by the CIRI Board of Directors and distributed by the Distribution Fund of the CIRI Settlement Trust (CST). Distributions are for beneficiaries who are CIRI Shareholders. Beginning in 2025, CIRI will make contributions to the fund sufficient for the CST to issue an annual aggregate distribution to its beneficiaries equal to $45.87/share. Shareholders receive four payments per year from this contribution. Distribution dates, amounts and other relevant deadlines for 2025 are as follows:
Elder Distributions
Quarterly Elders Fund distributions of $450 are paid to the beneficiaries of the CST who are original CIRI Shareholders and alive and 65 years of age or older on the approved dates of record, providing they either own at least one share of CIRI stock or gifted all their CIRI stock prior to July 31, 2003. Distribution dates, amounts and other relevant deadlines for 2025 are as follows:
Resource Revenue Distribution
For Shareholders who own at-large shares and have a valid mailing address on file, resource revenue payments will be mailed or directly deposited April 1. Resource revenue payments for Shareholders who own village-class shares are mailed directly to their village corporations, as required by ANCSA. Information on the type of stock owned is available in the Qenek portal.
Resource revenue payments are made in accordance with Section 7(j) of ANCSA, which directs the sharing of resource revenues among the 12 regional corporations within the state of Alaska. Future resource revenue distribution amounts will fluctuate based on the business decisions and operations of the other Alaska Native regional corporations.
Whether you receive a check or participate in direct deposit, any time your address changes, you must either update your address in Qenek or send a signed address change request to the Shareholder Relations department. You must also keep your address updated with the U.S. Postal Service. If your CIRI mail is returned as undeliverable, distributions will be held, interest-free, and you do not qualify to participate in any prize drawings until your address is updated.
