Funding Our Mission

 

while the Wild Sheep Foundation may have a relatively small footprint at about 11,000 members worldwide, we cast a very long and impactful conservation shadow. Through exceptional support from our members, sponsors, donors, giving societies, chapters, affiliates, and industry partners, WSF raised and directed more than $11 million to Mission Program Funding (MPF) during our recent July 2023 through June 2024 fiscal year. This represents a 47% increased over our prior record of $7.5 million in 2022-23 and more than $63 million directed to wild sheep conservation, management, enhancement, habitat restoration, education, and advocacy initiatives during the past decade.

During the twelve months of July 2023 to June 2024, WSF funded a mind-blowing $11.09 Million in Mission Program Funding (MPF) representing an incredible 47% increase over our prior fiscal year. Included in this record funding is $5.13 million from operational activities including $1.65 million to 20 Grant-In-Aid programs requested through our Chapters and Affiliates and $3.48 Million in advocacy, research, education, and industry support GIA and program funding. In addition, WSF directed a record $5.95+ Million to our state, provincial, and tribal/First Nation partners through 2024 conservation permit sales.
