The Alaska Fishermen's Fund Compelling Reasons Questionnaire is a questionnaire that is designed to assess the financial, economic, and social needs of those involved in the fishing industry in Alaska. This questionnaire is used to identify the compelling reasons why a person or a business should receive assistance from the Alaska Fishermen's Fund. The questionnaire is designed to assess the economic and social needs of the industry by asking questions about the individual's or business's financial resources, current income, current and future expenses, and the impact of the fishing industry on the community. The questionnaire is divided into two parts: the Financial Needs Assessment and the Social Needs Assessment. The Financial Needs Assessment covers topics such as income, expenses, assets, and liabilities. The Social Needs Assessment covers topics such as the impacts of the fishing industry on the local economy, the impact of the fishing industry on the community, and the importance of fishing to the individual's or business's livelihood. The Alaska Fishermen's Fund Compelling Reasons Questionnaire is a comprehensive assessment tool that helps to ensure that those in need receive the assistance they need.
