On August 31, 2023, the Wild Sheep Foundation's (WSF) Board of Directors unanimously approved $1.6 Million in Grant-In-Aid funding requested through its chapter and affiliate network for wild sheep conservation, habitat, research, and management projects for its July 30, 2023 through June 30, 2024 fiscal year.
This $1.6M represents 68% of WSF’s budgeted $2,302,500 Grant In Aid for the fiscal year and 45% of our planned $3,495,000 in Mission Programs Funding (MPF) from operations activities.
WSF expects to direct an additional $4.3 Million to state, provincial, and tribal/First Nation agencies through Conservation Permits sold at the 2024 Sheep Show® convention in Reno for a total Mission Program Funding of $7.8 Million for FY 2023-24.
This will be the second year in a row of $7+ Million in MPF and fifth consecutive year of $6+ Million MPF.
