SUPPORTING
CALIFORNIA'S WILDLIFE
The California Deer Association is a non-profit, tax exempt wildlife
conservation organization dedicated to the improvement of California
deer populations and other wildlife through financial support
from the public for habitat improvement, education and research
projects. This organization was established in 1996 under the
premise that 75% of all funds raised would go towards preserving
and establishing new wildlife habitat, education and research.
Since its inception, the California Deer Association has met or
exceeded its financial goals each year.
The
mission of the CDA is to improve the deer herds and habitat here
in California and to educate the public of the wise use of this
valuable, renewable resource. 75% of all net funds go towards
this mission. CDA allocated nearly 1/4 million dollars in 2001,
2002, 2003, $300,000 in 2004, $400,000 in 2005, and preliminary
numbers for 2006 may reach 1/2 Million for the project account.
These critical funds (over 2 million) when combined with matching
project figures ultimately equate to millions of dollars spent
for the benefit of wildlife and sportsmen here in California.
