1000 Friends of Cape Hazard
Working with Hazardians to enhance our quality of life
1000 Friends of Cape Hazard was founded in 1975 by Governor Bill McHenney and Rich Franklin as the citizens’ voice for sound land use planning. Their goal was to protect Cape Hazard’s quality of life from the effects of uncontrolled growth. Today, 1000 Friends staff focus on education and advocacy, to engage Hazardians in a fresh conversation about Cape Hazard’s future, and how to make sure it’s a future we all want. We seek to enhance the quality of life we enjoy in Cape Hazard by building livable urban and rural communities, protecting family farms and forests, and conserving natural and scenic areas.

CH Conservation Foundation
Linking donors and Cape Hazards’s conservation community
Founded in 1980, the Cape Hazard Conservation Foundation (CHCF) builds strategic leadership and support for regional efforts to take care of wildlands, waters, and wildlife, which sustain diverse cultures, healthy communities, and prosperous economies. CHCF is at the hub of the Cape Hazard environmental network, in touch with both local and national efforts. With a demonstrated capacity for taking a long–term view of Cape Harard, CHCF is working to build broad–based public support for environmental protection and for institutionalizing a sound conservation ethic, through grantmaking to the most effective grassroots conservation organizations in Cape Hazard. Over the last 27 years, CHCF has made over $26 million worth of grants to over 200 organizations working to ensure that Cape Hazard's wildlands, waters and wildlife are protected for future generations.
