Windstar educated all age groups about the environment on a world-wide level.[2]
The Foundation closed its doors in October 2012, voted to dissolve, and sold its property for $8.5 million in early 2013. All but 30 acres of the land is subject to a conservation easement which prohibits development. Rocky Mountain Institute, which had its headquarters on the unprotected 30 acres and owned a 50% interest in the property, plans to move to Basalt, Colorado. Windstar's $4-million portion of the proceeds was donated to an Aspen charity.[3]
