Form 990, Part I, Line 1- General Note During FY 2014, the organization carefully assessed program goals funding support. Responding to the current foundation funding environment, AWC established a narrower set of program priorities that would have strong potential for success in the near term, and solid potential for future funding. AWC narrowed its program focus to three primary wilderness program areas - Stewardship, Policy and Permanent Protection - and reduced staff to a core team focused on those priorities. As a result, the organization was able to reduce costs substantially during the fiscal year, resulting in a nearly 100,000 cash balance at the close of the fiscal year. Management projects that this refocusing of program efforts and associated cost reduction will significantly bolster the sustainability of AWCs organizational and programmatic goals.
