HSCF Issues Wildlife Grants

Houston Safari Club Foundation (HSCF) as part of its effort to support the future of hunting, shooting sports and conservation, recently awarded $26,500 in grants.

Grants were provided to support Children’s Kingdom Ministries/Wild Wishes, an organization that grants wildlife encounters to children with a critical illness or loss of a parent or sibling. The grants aids the specific program “Higher Calling Wild Wishes Expeditions” that hosts teens on expeditions to teach wildlife conservation through mentorship in wildlife photography, social media awareness raising and fundraising skills and is led by Texas Fish & Game Editor-In-Chief and wildlife journalist Chester Moore and his wife Lisa.

The Houston Safari Club Foundation provided a grant for the Wild Wishes program to host their Guadalupe Bass catch-and-release conservation mission trip. Here Jaxon Slone shows off his first catch from the trip in the Nueces River.

Another grant was provided to the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department to help restore desert grasslands for the benefit of mule deer and other wildlife species. HSCF also funded the Zambeze Delta Safaris Conservation group of Mozambique by purchasing much needed motorcycles for their anti-poaching/conservation unit patrols. In addition, HSCF funded the award-winning collegiate shooting teams from Liberty University.

HSCF has granted over $4 million in grants to protect and promote the future of hunting, shooting sports, education, conservation, habitat, and wildlife. The programs supported are based both domestically and abroad.
