Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We work for the day when America’s public lands are understood and appreciated, preserved and conserved and enjoyed by all. The most direct way to realize this vision is to ensure that public lands have strong nonprofit partners with the capacity to galvanize private support, catalyze change and take strategic risks.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Our organization's tagline encapsulates the value proposition that the Alliance creates for our members. We connect public lands partners not only to agency leaders and socially conscious corporations but also to one another in a vibrant peer network. We strengthen our community through targeted education, training and our other capacity building programs. We represent our members' interests with elected officials and policy makers.
