What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

The West faces profound environmental challenges from a rapidly growing population and climate change. Demand is soaring for energy to heat and cool our homes, power our entertainment, charge our communications, and fuel our transportation. Pressure from development stresses our landscapes and the ability to provide adequate water for communities and to ensure that our rivers of the West continue to flow. At the same time, the search for fossil fuels leads to damaging extractive processes that threaten wildlife and damage the places we love. In addition, our use of fossil fuels has led us into a climate predicament that threatens much of what draws Americans to the West. If we do not work toward clean energy and protection of our lands and water resources, our way of life in the West will no longer be sustainable.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

Despite growing environmental problems, Western Resource Advocates remains undaunted by these challenges in its commitment to protect the West. In our vision:

1. Western rivers and lakes will have abundant clean water to support habitat for fish and wildlife, communities and agriculture, and world class recreational opportunities. The Colorado River will flow to the sea.
2. Our homes, buildings and transportation systems will be powered by clean energy. The West will prosper in a zero-carbon economy.
3. Half of western landscapes and habitat will be protected and connected to support thriving wildlife populations and unparalleled opportunities to enjoy the West's natural beauty.
4. The West will have clean air and clean water to support healthy communities and vital habitat.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

Western Resource Advocates is building on our past successes. Western Resource Advocates has led the conservation community in developing innovative and pragmatic policies that resulted in (among other achievements) closure of coal-fired power plants, leveraging billions of dollars into investment in renewable energy and energy efficiency, protection of flows in nine major river systems in the West, and conservation of over two million acres of land in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming from energy development. We use law, science, and economics to craft innovative solutions to the most pressing conservation issues in the region.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

Western Resource Advocates has over 30 years of experience in successfully fighting climate change in the West using advocacy, policy, collaboration, and innovation. We are acknowledged in the the conservation community as a trusted source for balanced and accurate information; a trusted collaborator, working to find solutions to the most pressing conservation issues; and a partner for change, finding and facilitating pathways for measurable progress.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

WRA's aspirational vision statement for the West's land, air, and water looks to the year 2050. A key WRA accomplishment toward realizing this vision has been through successfully building a respected, talented team of experts and high-functioning partnerships with other organizations for over 30 years.
Stream by stream, forest by forest, and with every early retirement of a coal-fired generating station, WRA is accomplishing progress and establishing precedents that can be used across the West. Future generations will know a region where half of our lands are protected and connected for wildlife and recreation, we prosper in a zero carbon economy, and smart water management enables the Colorado to flows to the sea. The West will be known as the leader in balancing conservation of the environment and with a prosperous communities that exist in balance with nature.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
