“nearly fourteen years ago President Reagan signed P.L. 98-244, an act to establish the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation as a charitable, nonprofit corporation of the United States specifically to further the conservation and management of the Nation's fish, wildlife, and plant resources. Since that time, the Foundation has funded more than 2,200 conservation projects through their partnership and challenge grant program. In the State of Idaho alone, the Foundation has funded nearly 100 projects worth over $19,000,000. The good news is that they have done this work with only $5M of federal money. That is nearly a four to one contribution from the private sector. In addition, there have been many projects in adjacent States that benefit the Stat of Idaho. But the Foundation has had its share of controversy. A Foundation grant to the Pacific Rivers Council may have allowed the Pacific Rivers Council to use other resources to nearly shut down the economy of several counties in the State of Idaho.”
