Funding and Administration:

Funding

The program is funded entirely by a 75 cent surcharge on each hunting and fishing license sold, not tax dollars.

Administration

The campaign is administered by a nine member advisory council with diverse interests from around the state. Four council members are nominated by hunting and fishing associations in Colorado. The livestock and agriculture interests in Colorado nominate another member. One member represents Counties and another Municipalities. The DOW has a representative and the ninth member is selected for expertise in media and marketing. All members are unpaid volunteers appointed by the Director of the Division of Wildlife and eligible to serve two, four-year terms.
