Mission

THE MISSION OF FRIENDS OF NACHUSA GRASSLANDS IS TO BUILD ENDOWMENTS THAT WILL HELP DEFRAY THE COST OF NATURAL AREAS OF MANAGEMENT, STAFF AND OPERATING EXPENSES; CONDUCT AND ENCOURAGE STEWARDSHIP; SUPPORT EDUCATION AND SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY; AND FUND LAND PROTECTION AT THE PRESERVE. OVER 96% OF INCOME IS EXPENDED ON ACHIEVING THOSE GOALS.

Vision

We see a volunteer community restoring tallgrass prairie, investing in science, and creating a place where people and the nature thrive together.

Goals

1.Build endowments that will permanently help defray the cost of natural areas management, staff, and operating expenses. When fully funded a $5 million endowment will yield more than $200,000 annually.
2.Conduct and encourage volunteer stewardship as a driving component of habitat restoration. From a base year of 9,000 hours, we seek to grow volunteer participation by 5% annually.
3.Increase grants for scientific research to $75,000 annually and raise an endowment of $1 million that will annually fund $40,000 of the grants. Research leads to best practices for habitat management.
