Dear John,
Climate, conservation, the environment.
I don’t know about you, but I typically associate these terms with big government—and for good reason.
Many activists use climate concerns to push some of the most draconian tax increases and regulations ever conceived.
They think if they can make energy, heat, and modern living so expensive, it’ll clean up the environment and save the planet…
You and I both know they couldn’t be more wrong.
But the voices advocating for free enterprise solutions often struggle to be heard…
Fortunately, that’s changing thanks to the work of American Conservation Coalition (ACC), an Atlas Network partner based right here in the U.S.
ACC was a recent participant in our Smart Bets program, an exclusive group of partners with a proven track record of punching above their weight and generating impressive returns on philanthropic investment.
Their long-term goal is to create a new movement that serves as an alternative to the top-down, big-government mindset dominating the mainstream climate space.
Their plan involves an aggressive expansion of their grassroots membership program.
In 2024, they aimed to reach 40,000 members…
They ended up reaching 52,000.
ACC also:
- Appeared at 75 conferences
- Organized 236 grassroots events
- Accumulated 1,000 media appearances
- And amassed 650,000,000 social media impressions
At our 2024 Liberty Forum & Freedom Dinner, Atlas Network was proud to present ACC with the Smart Bets Impact Award for their outstanding work advancing the ideas of market environmentalism and building a movement to put these ideas into action.
The Smart Bets Impact Award also comes with a $25,000 prize, part of the $10 million in total grant funding that Atlas Network awarded in 2024.
Atlas Network is able to support organizations like ACC only because of the generosity of our donor community.
Please join us by contributing to our year-end giving campaign and help us continue rewarding allies for solving problems without big government.
Thank you,
