Overview
Mission
Wild Aware began in December 2019 with the mission of mitigating wildlife-vehicle collisions in the Evergreen community. Wild Aware continues to seek solutions and strategies to address our WVC challenges. Understanding that living in respectful coexistence with wildlife requires education outreach and resources Wild Aware has developed pathways to collaboration with wildlife experts educators and other non-profit organizations with which we share similar goals. The result is the programs and leadership that we have today which reflects the great passion and commitment to Wild Awares mission and values that so many of those in our community share. We are grateful to our leadership and to all of the volunteers that make our teams strong and the effects of our work tangible.

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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
