2024: The Year in Numbers

2024 continued YDCCF’s growth trajectory, again adding almost 40% growth in fundraising, buoyed by the addition of a second tournament series event and the expansion of the Lodge Partner Program. We also had our biggest year of granting in our history, providing $350,000 in grant funding to 24 projects and individuals.

Giving back with every trip booked

As a traveling angler, you have a choice – of places to go, and partners to help you on your journey. When you choose to work with Yellow Dog Flyfishing, know that a portion of your trip booking is donated back to YDCCF to help us in our efforts. Not only do you benefit (at no extra cost!) from Yellow Dog’s deep experience in crafting memorable trips, but some of your investment finds its way back into programs that benefit the community you’re traveling to. No other travel company does this.

PARTNERS & DONORS

Simply put: we couldn’t do the work we do without the support of a wide array of donors, including individuals and family foundations, the fly fishing industry (companies donate gear to our auctions and events) as well as our Lodge Partners. Roughly half the money we raise each year comes from individual donors and YDCCF welcomes your support! We thank each and every 2024 donor listed below!
