Grants

HSCF GRANTS PROGRAM

HSCF has granted over $4 million to support youth education, shooting sports and conservation efforts to help protect wildlife and habitat at home and abroad. These projects include research, sustainability, species promulgation, wildlife management, urban sprawl, anti-poaching, youth shooting sports and more. 

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.

Requirements for HSCF Grant Recipients

Under the terms of our grants program, HSCF requests that grant recipients indicate grants are being received from the Houston Safari Club Foundation, in all public acknowledgements. In addition, all grantees agree to furnish to HSCF an annual report detailing the use of HSCF grant funds. This report is to include activities and the financial administration of the grant funds, within one year of receiving an HSCF grant. Photos and data may be included.

Grant recipients are asked to consider writing an article and provide photos for our award-winning publication, Hunter’s Horn and for HSCF communication use. This article will feature the grant recipients program(s) and the use of HSCF grant funds to support their efforts. 

It is the policy of HSCF that no amount of a grant award may be applied to Indirect Cost (IDC).

To Submit Grant Requests

Grant requests are considered on a quarterly basis (March, June, September, December). Applications should be submitted by the first of the month prior (February, May, August, November). Requests are reviewed by the HSCF Grants Committee and HSCF’s Board of Directors. The purpose and goal of a grant request must be aligned with HSCF’s mission statement: Preserving the sport of hunting through education, conservation and the promotion of our hunting heritage.

If you feel your project or organization qualifies to receive a grant from HSCF, please submit a grant application. For the section requesting name of HSCF sponsor: if you do not have a confirmed HSCF member sponsor, please input “No Sponsor”.
