All programs incorporate an art activity. Each activity runs 45-60 minutes, with 15-20 minutes of a standards-aligned science and wildlife lesson. Students take the art home and share what they learned with family and friends. Each of these programs is provided to teachers free of charge thanks to the support from donors and grantors. In 2024, Champions for Wildlife taught in-class programming - primarily in Henderson and Polk Counties, NC a total of 259 classes and and 4,773 students were reached. In addition to the in-class programming, Champions for Wildlife partnered with the Polk County School District to lead 40 after-school programs also on native North Carolina wildlife with a focus on creating art to demonstrate appreciation of that wildlife. This programming reached children in K-8th grades in five schools. After Hurricane Helene, Champions for Wildlife assembled & distributed wildlife art kits for kids who lost everything in the storm. Thanks to donors and volunteers, we delivered the Sunshine and Smiles kits to over 500 children in Western NC, including all foster children in Polk County in grades K-5th. 192996 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 1 0 7 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 6 6 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true false true false NC VA FL X Tashi Brewster 8285510247 29 Pine Ridge Trail Arden NC 28704 X Loti Woods Co-Founder Executive Director 65.00 X X 0 0 0 Dale Weiler Co-Founder President 30.00 X X 0 0 0 Diana Twining Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Deb Vasilopoulos Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Cassia Rivera Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Carolyn Baughman Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 false false false 365262 4434 365262 Education Programs 813312 27950 0 0 27950 14729 0 14729 20401 2600 17801 17801 Sales Tax recovery 999999 565 0 0 565 565 426307 27950 0 33095 9365 9365 146742 118861 16142 11739 10858 8795 1194 869 770 770 0 0 4059 0 4059 0 75 75 1180 506 674 0 461 461 0 0 6276 5459 817 0 17123 17000 123 0 229 0 229 0 2601 1977 624 0 Program Supplies 23773 23773 0 0 Volunteer Expense 2147 2147 0 0 Event Expense 740 740 0 0 In-Kind Utilized 1834 1834 0 0 1991 1308 65 618 230224 192996 23927 13301 22735 9359 295830 494995 1632 8841 448 2940 229 2711 320645 515906 6149 5327 6149 5327 X 314496 510579 314496 510579 320645 515906 196083 X false false false X 0 0 158548 223684 365262 747494 31234 80122 48351 159707 0 0 189782 303806 413613 907201 105350 59333 42500 207183 38522 38522 105350 59333 81022 245705 661496 612 7994 14729 23335 612 7994 14729 23335 930536 X 0 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 2940 229 2711 2711 true Conserving Carolina 847 Case St Hendersonville NC 28792 566449365 501(c)3 9365 Americorp Pt VI, Line 2 Dale Weiler, President and Loti Woods, Executive Director are co-founders and spouses.
