What is WFFE?
The Washington Foundation for the Environment [WFFE] is a non-profit, low overhead organization, governed by a volunteer board of trustees and funded by public contributions.
For more than 20 years WFFE has been identifying and supporting individuals and groups who are active on the cutting edge of environmental issues in Washington state. That support takes many forms:
* Sponsorship of environmental education projects for students, government agencies, businesses and the general public. For example, WFFE has produced a curriculum on Washington`s environmental heritage for the State`s middle and high schools. The program includes an award winning video component.
* Monetary grants towards small, well-focussed local environmental projects, such as marine science camp scholarships and tree inventories.
* Conferences and Roundtables on crucial issues of environmental concern, such as The Public Trust Doctrine, Risk-Based Environmental Decision Making, and Salmon Recovery Strategies.
Through such efforts WFFE plays a unique and vital role in Washington`s environmental community, providing forums for the discussion of current issues and raising money to support the innovative works of others.
We all recognize that there are no new frontiers on this planet. It is our mission to educate and inform, to help ensure that our environmental heritage is sustained for generations to come.
