Keep Drinking the SFW koolaid.
30% goes to the state of Utah
60% goes to wildlife projects (There is money missing if you look at the tax info)
10% goes to admin fees.
The greatest lie the devil ever told was convincing humanity that he didn't exist.
The greatest lie that SFW ever told was that all of the money would go back to the wildlife in Utah.
It was a said day when another organization proposed to give 100% to the state of Utah for the expo as well as ticket sales from the event and the state of Utah decided to not follow it's own process and invent a new process to ensure SFW received the expo. SFW after discovering the other organization's bid, did not chance their bid at all - because they knew that they would win. The least they could have done was make it competitive, but they didn't.
I like the expo for the things that you suggested, but the corruption in the bidding process is disturbing and people should not be satisfied with how it went down this past year.
It is about transparency and not simply stating the money goes to wildlife, SFW needs to show how every dollar is spent and have a third party verify that they are spending money the way that they advertise they are spending the money.
As far as putting your money where your mouth is. A one time membership to RMEF will do more in conservation, than a 10 year relationship with the expo and SFW. RMEF is a big player in the US and SFW is only a big player in Utah, where they can get their way. SFW is making Utah a laughing stock in the western hunting community. There are a lot of things wrong with SFW and they could make them right, but they choose to pursue money and fame rather than doing the right thing for the right reason.
