IN FISCAL YEAR 2024, TROUT UNLIMITED
completed the second year of our two-year campaign to invest in support capacity. By bolstering our systems and people, we are equipping a smarter, larger, and even more effective TU.
TU continues its unprecedented run of successful mission outcomes. Total revenue reached a record $85 million in fiscal year 2024, an increase from $64 million last year, as public and philanthropic conservation funding created larger and more impactful project implementation across TU’s national Priority Waters program portfolio. As part of this growth, TU also secured increased long-term commitments, with over $150 million in multi-year funding for deployment over the next four years. Long-term partnerships like these provide opportunities for strategic planning and more substantial projects.
In FY24, TU also completed a two-year campaign to invest in support capacity for the growing conservation program, including critical staffing and modernized tools and systems required to plan and manage the complex network of hundreds of funding partners.
As a result, TU continues to enhance its reputation as a partner of choice for public and private conservation stakeholders alike as our conservation outcomes multiply each year. Continued growth will build an even stronger TU with improved tools and technology, best-in-class people, and core support to maximize our impact on the ground.
TU is grateful for the generosity expressed by our donors with each contribution to our mission. Together, we are seizing this historic opportunity to advance our shared goal to protect and restore our treasured rivers and streams.
