Ada Honor Program

Supporting CIRI Families in Times of Loss

CIRI is pleased to introduce the Ada Honor Program—a new program grounded in the spirit of Ada, a Dena’ina word meaning care, love, and kindness. Approved by your Board of Directors and funded by the Trustees of the CIRI Trust, this fund reflects our commitment to supporting families in times of loss.

Open to the families of all deceased Shareholders*
Support is available whether shares were original, gifted or inherited, provided the deceased was an active Shareholder at the time of his/her passing and the deceased Shareholder’s date of death occurred on or after January 1, 2025.

*The Ada Honor Program benefit is not available for Shareholders who passed away prior to January 1, 2025.

Helps cover funeral costs
The program offers $2,500 for burial and funeral expenses, with an additional $500 if the deceased has a valid Stock Will on file with CIRI.

No income or residency requirements
CIRI is committed to honoring every Shareholder with care and compassion.

Timeline to apply

For an application to be considered on time, the completed application and supporting documentation must be received by CIRI—or, if mailing, postmarked—within 180 days of the date of the Shareholder’s death to qualify for this benefit.

How to apply

Applications may be submitted directly online, or you may download the form and submit to CIRI in person, by mail, email or text, together with the supporting documents.
