It seems everywhere I go these days someone asks how, as a nonprofit organization, Winter Wildlands Alliance is weathering the current economic storm. It’s a question I actually enjoy answering because it gives me opportunity to reflect on just how fortunate WWA is to have such dedicated supporters and partners. The fact is, WWA is enjoying our best year ever in terms of individual contributions. That’s not to say we haven’t taken a few financial hits, or that we won’t take a few more before this is over, but I am pleased to report that WWA remains fiscally solid.
Like everyone else right now, we’re watching expenses very closely and we’re finding ways to accomplish more with less (not an easy task since we’ve always run a lean organization) but we have a more robust work plan than ever, we’ve expanded our geographic presence along with our advocacy services, and we’re perfectly positioned to take advantage of what may be the best opportunity we’ve ever had to change national policy and to finally bring balance to the way our public lands are managed during winter. Thank you for making that possible!
