Organization
For more than 20 years, Discover Your Northwest has fostered community leadership and environmental stewardship by helping emerging charitable enterprises to flourish through fiscal sponsorship. DYNW is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit partner to public lands in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California and Montana. Founded in 1974, we began operating on-site educational bookstores at a few select Northwest parks and forests. We have since blossomed into a regional organization that supports education, interpretation, recreation management, and visitor services on public lands.
