New Partners:
Taxpayers for Common Sense (TCS) is a nonpartisan budget watchdog that has served as an independent voice for the American taxpayer since 1995. As we feel the impacts of climate change TCS is making sure we can also know exactly how our money is being spent on everything from catastrophic wildfire recovery to the energy sector, to agriculture and transportation. The economics matter, and so do our fiscal priorities. Prevention is cheaper than rebuilding, but do enough people know that?
America’s 660 million acres of public lands are among our nation’s greatest treasures—vital for recreation, wildlife, clean water, and cultural heritage—yet coverage of their future is disappearing just as these places face unprecedented pressure from deregulation, underfunding, and privatization. RE:PUBLIC has stepped out as a start-up platform to change that: a nonprofit, nonpartisan newsroom dedicated to covering the policies, people, and forces shaping the future of America’s public lands. Through investigative reporting, data-driven storytelling, and partnerships with major media outlets, we shine a light on decisions that affect us all and give the public the knowledge it needs to protect our shared heritage.
High Country News began in 1970 when Wyoming rancher Tom Bell, alarmed by mounting environmental challenges in the West, launched a small black-and-white tabloid to tell the stories others overlooked. Today, it has grown into a leading media voice dedicated to illuminating the complexities of the Western United States—not just its landscapes, but the people, communities and shifting relationships between human and natural systems. Through rigorous reporting, HCN continues to dispel myths and surface nuanced truths about the West’s diverse ecological and human realities.
The Colorado Sun is a journalist-founded, award-winning nonprofit newsroom in Denver dedicated to helping Colorado understand itself—and its communities. Through fact-based, in-depth and nonpartisan reporting on everything from politics and culture to education and the outdoors, they aim to foster a more informed, connected and vibrant state. Mighty Arrow is providing support to help them expand news hubs to the outer reaches of Colorado.
Courage California Institute’s mission is to defend and extend economic justice, human rights and corporate and political accountability through public education, strategic research and innovative leadership-development training. Courage California Institute empowers Californians by providing the resources needed to courageously participate in the democratic process and create change for the betterment of their families and communities—all anchored by a core belief that democracy in the U.S. can represent and serve all residents when ALL communities have the power to use their voices and be heard by leadership.
Shavano Conservation District
The Shavano Conservation District is a local governmental subdivision focused on the conservation and responsible management of natural resources. They work in partnership with local landowners, farmers, ranchers and other stakeholders to implement practices that preserve soil, water and biodiversity. Encompassing approximately 2.2 million acres, the District serves a diverse agricultural community that relies heavily on healthy soil ecosystems for productivity and sustainability. This project in particular to support the purchase of a fungal compost extraction machine to assist with soil health initiatives in the region. A previous project partner of Mighty Arrow’s, Fungal Link, creates a soil health solution that will help producers improve soil biology and crop resilience. The Shavano Conservation District is brining the Fungal Link to their farmers.
Partner Renewals:
Project Drawdown is an independent, internationally trusted organization driving meaningful climate action by connecting people like you to science-based climate solutions and strategies. Through systems change, individual action, business leadership, philanthropy, investments, national policy and global negotiations, Project Drawdown advances science-based climate solutions around the world—grounded in the belief that rigorous science must guide climate action. Just as importantly, they ensure that science is translated into compelling, actionable insights through deep stakeholder engagement and powerful storytelling.
CSU Soil Carbon Solutions Center
Soil is one of the largest natural carbon reservoirs and a powerful climate solution ready to deploy today. By accelerating regenerative agricultural practices that build soil carbon on working lands, we can draw down atmospheric carbon while boosting the environmental, economic, and social sustainability of food, fiber, and bioenergy production. CSU’s Soil Carbon Solutions Center uses the latest science to quantify carbon drawdown, enhance farmer livelihoods and guide innovative applications to maximize impact and avoid unintended consequences. We especially love the Carbon Finance Boot Camp hosted by Dr. Lauren Gifford!
