Nathan Fey joins Mighty Arrow Family Foundation as Land & Water Program Director
Fort Collins, Colo. – The Mighty Arrow Family Foundation announced today that Nathan Fey has joined their team as the new Land & Water Program Director, underscoring the foundation’s dedication to climate action, clean water and public lands. Mighty Arrow has also recently committed to donating the entirety of the foundation’s fund by 2040, in direct response to the major challenges facing the nation, from climate change, to social injustice, to biodiversity loss and protecting our democracy.
“As we strive to create bold and transformational change, intentionally spending down our fund in the coming years, Nathan will be a vital part of executing that strategy in a way that brings the greatest benefit to our NGO partners and western landscapes,” said Jordana Barrack, Executive Director of the Mighty Arrow Family Foundation. “His expertise on land and water issues and experience engaging diverse partners will help ensure our grants have the greatest possible impact at a time when action is needed most.”
The natural habitats found across the southwestern United States are the physical systems that provide clean water, sustainable food sources, and recreation outlets for 40 million plus Americans. Mighty Arrow’s partners are working to protect these places, and advancing solutions that are a model for communities across the West, and the world.
Fey most recently served as the Outdoor Recreation Industry Office Director for the State of Colorado, and led the effort to secure a $9.7 million Economic Development Administration grant program to support tourism and outdoor recreation. Prior to that, he spent 12 years as the Southwest Regional Director of American Whitewater. In his role at Mighty Arrow, he will direct the foundation’s land and water granting strategy and engage partners doing critical work across the West.
“I’m very excited to join the Mighty Arrow Family Foundation and bring my experience in western land and water stewardship, landscape scale conservation planning, and recreation and nature-based economies,” said Fey. “This work has long been a passion of mine, and I look forward to working with the Foundation to advance campaigns that are well coordinated and measurably successful in achieving our vision, as well as the shared goals of our grantees and partners.”
