PWCA Named ‘One of the Best’ Nonprofits by the Catalogue for Philanthropy 

Thanks to your support, the Catalogue for Philanthropy: Greater Washington has selected Prince William Conservation Alliance to be part of their 2018-19 class of best local nonprofits in the region.

Executive Director Kim Hosen says, “Prince William Conservation Alliance is delighted to have our work recognized by the Catalogue for Philanthropy. Since 2002, our work has opened doors to community action, from reclaiming native habitats to supporting smart growth initiatives.” 

“People want to know where to give and they need trusted information. Based on our in-depth review, we believe that Prince William Conservation Alliance is one of the best community-based nonprofits in the region,” says Bob Wittig, Executive Director of the Catalogue for Philanthropy.

The Catalogue believes in the power of small nonprofits to spark big change. As the only locally-focused guide to giving, its goal is to create visibility for the best community-based charities, fuel their growth with philanthropic dollars, and create a movement for social good in the greater Washington region.

This important recognition highlights the value of our hard work and will help us advance our goals over the next 16 years. Thank you for your support, it makes a huge difference and is greatly appreciated.
