It's that time of year that every non profit that you interract with is going to putting out their year end appeal for donations, and rightly so. Tax benifits aside, the impact of year end giving to non profit groups is the lifeblood that keeps the good work going
The Wild Steelhead Coalition is no exception to the rule. We are a volunteer driven organization that does the best it can to provide the most amount of impact for the small budget we have.
In 2015, we spent zero dollars on office space, staff, or fishing retreats. Instead, we used every dollar you graciously provided to fight for wild steelhead. And boy, did we get some great stuff done.
With your support, in just 12 short months together we:
Scored a huge victory for struggling steelhead stocks on the Olympic Peninsula by successfully championing a years-long effort to reform antiquated sportfishing regulations, including finally ending the sport fishing harvest of wild steelhead in Washington.
Spearheaded a campaign for the creation of much-needed Wild Steelhead Gene Banks (also known as wild steelhead management zones) on the entire Skagit, Elwha, and Puyallup watersheds.
Convinced the federal government to more extensively study the impact of hatchery steelhead on threatened Puget Sound wild steelhead.
Served on numerous steelhead advisory groups sent countless letters to state and federal government entities, and hosted a handful of successful events.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg…

We'd love your support to continue our work this coming year, and we're going to dangle a nice little carrot your way
