The 2026 experience

Opportunities to support the 2026 Neqa in Bristol Bay are available at several levels, including customized sponsorships that fit with your goals. Created with you in mind, these new custom packages reflect the incredible growth of Neqa which is entering its ninth year of fundraising for our student scholarships and cultural programs. This value-added experience promises no surprises and no separate invoices- just more of what makes Neqa a trip that you look forward to all year.

Please contact Angela Peacock at angela@bristolbayfoundation.org to explore options. Thank you for your time and consideration!

A limited number of King Salmon (Premium), Rainbow Trout (Gold), and Lake Trout (Silver) Sponsorship packages are available for this year’s event. Our 2026 All-In Packages include Neqa standard inclusions (see details below) + your sponsorship contribution, included seats at Kulik Lodge, and beautiful fly-outs depending on sponsorship tier.

For sponsors who want to support Neqa without attending our June event, we welcome philanthropic commitments at any level. If you decide that the Neqa experience is too fun to pass up, there will be an opportunity to purchase any remaining, open seats at Kulik Lodge after May 1st at a rate of $7,500 which reflects the full Kulik experience: travel, accommodation, guided fishing, and standard inclusions.*

We are happy to further customize sponsorship packages that fit your goals. Please contact us directly to discuss your 2026 Neqa in Bristol Bay.
