Fundraising opportunities
The Department of Fish and Game is inviting nonprofit organizations to submit applications to auction big game fund-raising license tags for bighorn sheep, deer, elk, and pronghorn antelope in 2005. As required by law, all proceeds from the sale of these tags must be returned to the Department of Fish and Game to benefit these wildlife species.
Each year, a number of nonprofits vie for the opportunity to auction off these tags in order to attract bidders to their fundraising events. In 2004 one bighorn sheep, two pronghorn antelope, three elk, and 10 deer tags sold at auctions held by nonprofit organizations, raising more than $246,000 for research and management of these wildlife species. The department expects a similar number of fundraising tags to be available for 2005.
Applications were sent to organizations which have previously applied and to organizations expressing interest in future opportunities.
The deadline for submitting is 2pm Tuesday.
