Houston, TX – Houston Safari Club Foundation (HSCF), as part of its effort to support the future of hunting and conservation, has awarded $62,500 in grants this year.  

These grants were provided in support of research, wildlife conservation, habitat preservation, high school and college sporting clays teams, anti-poaching Ranger patrols in Africa, and advocacy for issues affecting America’s sportsmen and women on both federal and state level, following a comprehensive review process.

HSCF has granted over $3.7 million to protect species and habitats the world over. These projects include research, sustainability, species promulgation, wildlife management, water projects, urban sprawl, anti-poaching and other efforts. HSCF is a leading advocate for hunter funded conservation initiatives, which currently make up 99% of the wilderness conservation programs in existence today. Without these programs in place, and the billions of dollars generated in the hunting industry annually, wildlife would quickly become endangered by an imbalance of nature, species overpopulation, habitat destruction, urban encroachment and other threats.
