The High
Plains Partnership Financial Support Financial support for the High Plains Partnership has been provided by grants from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Environmental Protection Agency (Region 8), the Kerr Center for Sustainable Agriculture, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, Phillips Petroleum, and Houston Industries. WGA along with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Colorado Department of Wildlife/Great Outdoors Colorado, and the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation have also made significant financial contributions. Additional funding is currently being sought. Contributions can be made through the Western Governors' Foundation. The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) supporting organization of the Western Governors' Association (WGA). WGA is an independent, nonpartisan organization of governors, established in 1984, as representing 18 Western states, two territories and one commonwealth. Through their association, governors identify and address key policy and governance issues in natural resources, the environment, human services, economic development, international relations and public management. The HPP is the centerpiece of WGA's Stewardship of Natural Resources Initiative and a larger effort to provide financial and technical assistance to natural resource, environmental and community sustainability efforts throughout the West. Contributions are tax deductible to the extent allowed by the law and will help fund implementation activities of the Partnership. align="left">
