Texas Parks & Wildlife Foundation provides private support to Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to manage and conserve the natural and cultural resources of Texas and to provide hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation opportunities for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.

Founded in 1991, Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation is the nonprofit funding partner of Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Overseen by 21 trustees and administered by ten full-time and three part-time staff members, the foundation has raised over $100 million since its inception. The funds we raise ensure all Texans, today and in the future, can enjoy, explore, and be inspired by the incredible wild things and wild places in Texas.

In 2016, the foundation is focusing on diverse strategic initiatives like multi-year conservation projects, wildlife research and safeguarding, community development and outreach programs, and expanding opportunities for outdoor recreation. Private funding, gifts, and grants secured by the foundation are directly improving and expanding state parks and wildlife management areas, addressing critical conservation needs, and enhancing opportunities to enjoy and appreciate the abundance of natural beauty throughout Texas.

Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation is committed to accountability and transparency.
