Join our Annual Campaign & help us earn a $25,000 match!
Since 1979, the Issaquah Alps Trails Club (IATC) has worked towards its mission of education, conservation, and advocacy for the Issaquah Alps. You can see a piece of our legacy in our Accomplishments Map. None of this work would be possible without the generous support of donors like you.
This year was a landmark year for us in supporting the legal fees associated with the fight to Save Coal Creek, which amounted to over $160,000. These funds helped us raise awareness, gain over 5,000 petition signers, and helped secure $9.2 million in King County Conservation Futures funding to help purchase the land. While the battle is not over yet, we could never have gotten to this point without our incredible community of supporters.
In 2023, we have also hosted more than 50 events with over 400 guests in attendance, including Hikes with a Purpose, restoration events, educational webinars, an Issaquah City Council candidate forum, and our annual public forum. We also welcomed a Program and Volunteer Coordinator in late 2022 who has leveled up all of our events and coordination. Your gift will enable IATC to:
Enhance educational programming
Increase our capacity to advocate for conservation legislation
Host more environmental candidate forums for upcoming 2024 elections
Collaborate with our land manager partners to expand and build a resilient Issaquah Alps ecosystem
Looking to the future, we hope to expand our educational programming and staff capacity to find creative new ways to pursue our mission.
