Calista Corporation Announces 2023 Spring Distribution of $11 Million

by Calista Staff

Over 1,200 shareholders added in past year.

Calista (cha-LIS-tah) Corporation’s largest-ever Shareholder distribution of $11 million will occur on or before April 14. This distribution is nearly 13 percent larger than last year’s spring distribution of $9.8 million.

The average Shareholder who owns 100 shares will receive an estimated $283. This is a 9 percent increase from last year, despite the 1,200 new Shareholders who enrolled in the past year.

“This is the first time a single distribution has exceeded $10 million,” said Willie Kasayulie, Calista Board Chair. “About 1 in 3 Shareholders is under 18 years old, and 6 in 10 Shareholders live in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Region. These distributions will help put a dent in their household expenses.”

Direct deposit updates must be received by March 21, and address updates by April 2. Updates can be completed at https://MyCalista.com, the free Shareholder portal.

Checks will be mailed on or before April 14 for those without direct deposit. Shareholders in the Y-K Region should allow up to three weeks for mailed checks to arrive, weather permitting.

Subject to approval by Calista’s Board of Directors, Shareholder distributions are typically made in the spring and the fall. This is the 42nd distribution in Calista’s history, and total distributions to Shareholders now exceed $124 million.

Over 36,100 Shareholders will receive the 2023 Spring distribution. Calista is the largest regional Alaska Native Corporation by number of Shareholders.
