Look at what the Nature Conservancy has accomplished with private funds and you get some idea of what the Access Fund is capable of.

Ya know that video actually pursuaded me to donate. I have been on the fence with finances for a while...but I think the access fund is true to their message.

i spent a little time searching around the access fund site. and my interest is mostly strategic- when, who, where if supporting efforts with limited resources...
i've talked to a few people who might have been persuaded to offer support but, with what experience i can't say, thought that the access fund spent too much money paying lawyers to talk to lawyers....which is the primary reason the rrgcc southern region deserved support, tangible and 'local' too.
i can appreciate the tactical savvy in focusing national attention in specific cases too...and in aligning interests the nature conservancy is a model.
but 'accountability' and return on investment can get elusive when organizations overlap. i'll look further, but specific targets would help convince me of the urgency (like the washington state quarry site)

sorry LINK FAILS.
evaluation by 'charitynavigator.org' website indicates a pretty good return on investment.
