Rare, a global conservation organization based in Arlington, Virginia, has announced a unique challenge grant from retired Wall Street hedge fund manager Robert Wilson, who has promised to match, on a one-to-one basis, the largest donation in 2009 to the small but rapidly growing nonprofit, with no ceiling on the amount of the match.
Rare has been called "one of the best charities you've never heard of" by the well-known financial news site The
Motley Fool. Established in 1973, the organization has broadened its scope and vision since 2000, becoming a leading provider of "social marketing" for global biodiversity conservation. The organization trains and mentors leaders of environmental organizations, grassroots groups, and governments using an approach called the Pride campaign, which works to inspire people to take pride in, and action to protect, the natural assets that make
their communities livable. To date, the organization has trained 158 leaders in the developing world, who in turn have influenced more than 6.8 million people in over 2,400 remote communities.
