How To Give

There are many ways in which you can make a lasting impact on the future of environmental education about wildlife and habitat conservation to Texans of all ages.

Don't forget to visit the Estate Planning area of this website for additional information on various gifting strategies.

Memorials & Honoraria

Many donors wish to make a gift in honor or in memory of someone who had a positive influence on their lives. A gift is made to honor someone, to commemorate a special occasion (such as an anniversary or a birthday), or to simply let a person know that you care. Upon receiving your gift, we will send an acknowledgment of your thoughtful expression to the person or family indicated. At no time will we mention the amount of your gift. You will also receive an acknowledgment of your donation, as well as a receipt.

TWAF Endowment Campaign

The Texas Wildlife Association Foundation, Inc. (TWAF) is seeking to raise an initial $2 million to create an endowment that will help perpetuate its vital educational mission, such as its educational partnerships with the Texas Wildlife Association (TWA) and similar organizations.  By contributing to our Endowment Campaign, you can become an important part of the state’s most successful and sensible conservation effort. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization, the Texas Wildlife Association Foundation is ready to receive your tax-deductible contribution. 

Campaign Need

Urbanization in Texas is progressing at a startling rate. As more people become further removed from the land, it is vital that we educate Texans about the conservation and management of wildlife and native habitat on private land, the contributions of landowners and hunters to wildlife and habitat conservation, and the legacy and responsibility of ethical hunting. The Endowment will allow TWAF to expand its education programs in prosperous times and maintain them at high levels during economic downturns.

Campaign Commitments

The Endowment Steering Committee has committed that:
     
        *  100 percent of the endowment funds raised will be used to support the educational initiatives of TWAF.
        
        *  No portion of the endowment will be used to support legislative or legal activities.
        
        *  The committee will pursue 100 percent participation in the Endowment Campaign by the TWAF Trustees
        
The committee will also pursue 100 percent participation in the Endowment Campaign by the Trustees of its educational partners, such as TWA.

If you value native wildlife and sensible habitat management on private lands, and if you want to preserve Texas’ rural and hunting heritage, please support TWAF today.  The future of Texas wildlife depends on you!

Matching Gifts

What's better than a generous gift to the Texas Wildlife Association Foundation? A gift that is twice as generous, thanks to a third party's matching gift program!

Many companies offer employees a matching gift benefit that, in effect, doubles (or in many cases even triples) your gift to TWAF. Matching gifts make a critical contribution to the educational programs of the Texas Wildlife Association Foundation.

So when making a gift to the Texas Wildlife Association Foundation, please consider earmarking TWAF for a corporate match. Companies have various methods by which you can submit your matching gift request; online forms, automated phone systems or a paper form that you submit to TWAF. Contact your company's human resources officer or website to research your options for a matching gift.
