If not for WRA, the West would be heading toward a very different future. With your gift, we can change the story.
One of the most powerful ways to fight climate change and protect the West is by shaping policy at the state level—where many of the most important decisions are made for our communities, lands, and rivers. That’s why WRA pairs researchers, attorneys, and policy experts with seasoned advocates who know how to get things done across the region.
Our work focuses on three core areas that shape the West’s future:
No other organization combines our on-the-ground presence, technical expertise, and proven record of turning bold climate goals into real laws, policies, and utility actions.
But none of this work is possible without you. Together, we’re expanding our efforts, sharpening our focus, and advancing solutions that protect our communities and wild places.
Join us this Colorado Gives Day and your gift will help protect the future of the West we all love.
“WRA’s focus on local- and state-level action is a lifeline in a world where federal policies can change overnight.”
–Eric, New York
"We believe climate change is the greatest threat to our kids' future, and we wanted to do something to be part of the solution."
–Erica, Utah
“What we love about WRA is its ability to see the bigger picture and provide a clear roadmap for transformative climate action.
–Melony and Adam, Colorado
"We increased our giving to ensure WRA doesn’t lose momentum – the climate crisis can’t wait.”
–Rachel and Ben, Utah
WRA fights climate change and its impacts to sustain the environment, economy, and people of the West.
WRA works across seven Interior West states – including Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. From the start, we’ve learned that the best results come when we focus on the venues where decisions are made: state legislatures, agencies and commissions, and working directly with utilities, local governments, and municipalities.
For more than 30 years, our team has designed and advocated for practical, evidence-based solutions to the region’s toughest climate and conservation challenges. Alongside community partners, we’ve passed landmark clean energy laws, protected millions of acres of land, and safeguarded thousands of miles of rivers and streams.
Our strategies have evolved over time, but our purpose has not: to protect the West we love today – and for generations to come.
