What Alaska Wilderness League Action does
Mission
Alaska Wilderness League Action (awla) deploys citizen support to realize political change, legislative gains and accountability of congress and the administration to protect alaska's wild landscapes.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Federal advocacy - awla advocates for and against legislation in congress, based on how it might impact alaska's public lands and waters, which are natural resources that all americans have a shared ownership stake in. Recent efforts have included supporting measures aimed at blocking drilling and restoring protections for the arctic refuge and seeking to codify a 2001 national rule aimed at protecting roadless areas in the national forest system. Awla has worked in support of proposals to protect bristol bay and stop the pebble mine and to prevent the privatization of hundreds of thousands of acres on alaska public lands.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $742k to $208k (−72%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
100% of ALASKA WILDERNESS LEAGUE ACTION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (88% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
