I’ve been critical of nonprofits that don’t pull their weight, but the Arroyos & Foothills Conservancy is the organization that validates the role of nonprofits in the land acquisition scheme of things. More nonprofits like AFC and less government -- that would be a good thing."
--Joe Edmiston, Executive Director, Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy
The Arroyos & Foothills Conservancy preserves and protects wild lands in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, and brings people to those lands. The great majority of our organizational funding comes from members of the local community, enabling us to identify land to preserve, build and plan trail systems, and launch education projects, among other things. The community's support also enables us to seek major contributions from government agencies and private foundations.
AFC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. Donations are tax-deductible.
