My Nonprofit Reviews

I've been volunteering with and contributing to Sky Island Alliance for more than 20 years. It's a one-of-kind organization that's deeply rooted in this place that I call home. Not only does it use science and advocacy to protect the beautiful and diverse Sky Islands region, it does a fantastic service in connecting community members directly to the many magical places to be found outdoors in the Sky Islands.

I'm particularly loyal to SIA as an organization that's truly bi-national, working on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border and treating the region holistically, as nature intended. Every day SIA proves that the international border need not divide us as they bring Sonorans and Arizonans together to do the important work of caring for our world-renowned natural heritage in the Sky Islands region.

In this time of division, rancor, widespread ignorance and hatred, SIA is a brilliant ray of hopeful collaboration that could very well be our salvation. SIA heals the landscape and the people who live on it at the same time, and I'm very grateful for the work that this organization does and the positive impact that it's had on my life.
