Rare "Call for All" to help NWTF & Oklahoma Conservation

[Slicktricktj]

Our volunteers and supporters care deeply about conservation and protecting our hunting lifestyle. Please consider helping them continue their mission. Every little bit helps and is appreciated greatly!

Fact: Since 2015, NWTF volunteers and supporters have contributed more than $833,104 (more than $5 million after matching funds)to programs in Oklahoma including habitat improvements on public and private property, high school scholarships, Scholastic Shooting teams, National Archery in the Schools programs, regional Biologist for technical advice on private property, Precribed burn programs equipment, educational workshops, youth camps, and government affairs and policy work. This doesn’t even include the volunteer hours given back to communities across the state for other organization’s events. If you believe that Oklahoma needs an organization like NWTF to continue contributing to our state, please consider contributing to the Call for All campaign to help overcome the $5 million dollar deficit NWTF is facing due to the current Covid-19 crisis! Let’s all look deep inside ourselves today as we celebrate all the freedoms we have in this country!

Since 2015 less than a million has been donated how did they get to a 5 million deficit?

Well, I'm sure it's not all of it, but the salaries of those paid was over 6.5 million in 2018. The last actual IRS forms I can find are from 2015 and it shows they have 18 employees. They are allowed to put 75 percent of their salary into a 401 that is matched at their discretion. It cost them 770K for that in 2018. For a non profit they seem to do well. They also list payments for education programs, but I can tell you when I was a Jakes director in Delaware I had to come up with everything for the program and never got a dime. Don't get me wrong, I wish them no ill will. They do a great service when you can get them to contribute.
