Wild Montana and “Our Land Our Legacy”

At a Glance

Wild Montana (formerly the Montana Wilderness Association) is an environmental group that seeks to keep land off-limits to human economic activity. It provides support for Green Decoy talking points on the national monuments issues, via its “Our Land Our Legacy” campaign, and other issues. Wild Montana only has 5,500 members, according to its website, and a membership costs $40 per year. So how does we account for Wild Montana’s $2 million in revenue and slick campaigns like “Our Land Our Legacy”? A large chunk is due to moneyed, out-of-state sources. Wild Montana has gotten $9 million from foundations—leftwing environmental groups such as the Wyss Foundation ($1.3 million), Pew Charitable Trusts ($787,000), and the Wilburforce Foundation ($605,000). Over 95 percent of this foundation money going to Wild Montana comes from outside the state, according to recent financial records
