“As our outreach and Broadbands grew and I completed my two terms on the Board, I recognized the need for stability in funding sources,” says Di, who has been a sustaining member for a decade. “Whether it’s $10 a month or $100 dollars a month, that ’sustainer’ donation helps to provide a known source of income stability for the organization. It’s a painless withdrawal from my bank account each month and certainly does not preclude me from making an additional donation over time for specific needs…or reducing the amount if my personal situation warrants it.” – Di Allison
Cyndi has been making monthly gifts for seven years. She says that becoming a sustaining member was a great way to give without having to think about renewing every year.
“Also being involved in the Broads has given me so much,” says Cyndi. “What better way to give back?”

Even if stocks have appreciated greatly, you can claim a charitable deduction for the full market value and reduce your income tax liability.

We extend our gratitude to the Pope family for helping us ensure that wilderness areas are protected from “an increasing population, accompanied by expanding settlement and growing mechanization”—exactly as the authors of the Wilderness Act intended.
Clem Pope at work in the wilderness.
“Our father was a forester and mom an avid birdwatcher, so we grew up outside. As a young woman, my sister Ann owned three bush planes, filed a land claim, and built a log cabin in a remote part of Alaska,” shares Art Pope. As for his other siblings, he said, “Lyn worked at an Alaskan fishing lodge and became a permanent Alaskan resident. Gale works in range management for the Forest Service and is active in her local Backcountry Horseman chapter. I founded Northwest Youth Corps, an organization dedicated to getting youth and young adults into the backcountry. Our eldest brother Clem Pope served over 45 years as a wilderness ranger, animal packer, and Wilderness Program Manager in Idaho’s Selway-Bitterroot and Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness areas, and taught us all to appreciate the importance and fragility of Wilderness. Last fall, Clem’s two daughters continued this passion, completing a 12-day cross-country hike across the Frank Church.”
