A collaborative workshop for WAFWA state and provincial agency wildlife nonprofits and those aspiring to start one.

This workshop is held in conjunction with WAFWA’s 2026 Summer Meeting at the Riverside Hotel in Boise, ID. State agency personnel, commissioners, and agency-related nonprofit staff are invited to participate. The workshop runs 1pm-5pm MT on Wednesday, June 3 and 8am-12pm MT on Thursday, June 4. To registration for the event is being run through WAFWA’s Summer Meeting. You can register for the full Summer Meeting and select the “Foundations Workshop” option or you can register for just the “Foundations Workshop Only”. The “Foundations Workshop Only” registration includes lunch, awards reception, and dinner on Wednesday.

The full workshop is by invitation only for state agency personnel and select foundations directly associated with a state agency. We are offering an open session 4pm-5pm on Wednesday afternoon that anyone can attend that will highlight successes of foundations and provide examples of who they provide value to state agencies.

An agenda will be provided on this page at a later date.
