2011- 2012 Annual Operating Fund Drive When the aspens of New Mexico dress themselves in orange and gold, and dustings of snow appear in the mountains, we launch our Annual Operating Fund Drive. The Annual Operating Fund Drive happens just once a year – no deluge of constant appeals. This is your chance to help conserve and restore, now and for future generations, the natural resources of New Mexico – the key to maintaining resourceful communities - and keeping New Mexico the special place that it is. Our Operating Fund is the engine that keeps our programs running at Seventh Generation Institute. The Operating Fund supports our incredible staff and all of the organizational infrastructure (phones, paper, computers, lights, insurance etc.) that are needed for conservation results. Real people are the foundation of the Fund. We rely on private individuals, businesses, and groups to provide almost 60% of our annual operating budget. Yes, we secure public funds and grants for our work, but at the end of the day, it is people like you who make conservation happen with contributions small and large. All are appreciated. Contributions from caring New Mexicans directly made possible the launch of The New Mexico Pika Monitoring Project in 2011, as well as kept Building Riparian Resilience through Beaver Restoration moving full speed ahead. Your contribution sends a message about approach as well -- that you support conservation based in working together, applied science, and common sense.
