Build a Legacy
Join the Council in Protecting Our Hunting and Shooting Sports Heritage
Hunting and the shooting sports are the lifeblood of wildlife conservation. When you donate to the Council to Advance Hunting and the Shooting Sports (Council), you strengthen a powerful pathway for connecting people to the outdoors. Your contributions help share the true story of how hunters and recreational target shooters fund wildlife conservation across America.
Your donation fuels programs that welcome newcomers, retain active participants, and reactivate lapsed enthusiasts, the proven R3 approach (Recruitment, Retention, and Reactivation) that keeps people engaged and supportive of the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation.
Through your generosity, the Council turns data into action, helping partners build community relationships, increase access to shooting ranges and wild spaces, improve public engagement, and design training and mentorship opportunities that meet the needs of all Americans.
Education at the Heart of Conservation
Education is at the center of everything we do. With your support, we craft clear, credible messages that demonstrate how license fees, excise taxes, and volunteer time from hunters and recreational target shooters conserve land, restore species, support human and wildlife health, and sustain public access to wild spaces for future generations.
Collaboration That Amplifies Impact
Every contribution amplifies collaboration. The Council connects state agencies, non-profit organizations, industry partners, and local clubs, ensuring that good ideas scale faster and conservation dollars go farther. Together, we reduce barriers, share resources, and measure what works, so you can be confident that your support delivers results.
“When you give to the Council, you help open doors for beginners, support long-time participants, and connect more Americans to the traditions that fund wildlife conservation. Your generosity creates opportunities, builds community, and leaves a lasting legacy for future generations.”
