Regional Environmental Nonprofits Merge Around Unified Mission

The Western North Carolina Alliance (WNCA), the Environmental & Conservation Organization (ECO), and the Jackson Macon Conservation Alliance (JMCA) were three environmental organizations in Western North Carolina. They merged into MountainTrue, which has become a singular powerful voice to protect the environment in the region with greater advocacy clout, programmatic opportunities, and fundraising potential. The SeaChange-Lodestar Fund for Nonprofit Collaboration provided a grant to help cover costs of the merger.
