Overview

Mission

Two percent for conservation's (2%) mission is to ensure the future of hunting and angling by creating an alliance of businesses and individuals committed to giving time and money to fish and wildlife conservation. 2% for conservation will recruit businesses committed to giving at least 1% of their time to nonprofit organizations focused on issues threatening wildlife and the hunting industry.

What it reported doing in 2024

2% for conservation adds new business and individual members who commit to giving back 1% of their time and money to conservation groups of their choice. This is accomplished by launching media campaigns educating businesses and individuals about the need to support conservation based nonprofits.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
