About Houston Safari Club

Houston Safari Club is a long-running Texas hunting organization with two arms. Houston Safari Club itself is a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization, and IRS records show its tax exemption dates to September 1975. Its charitable partner, the Houston Safari Club Foundation (HSCF), is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with an exemption dating to June 1981. The foundation’s stated mission is to preserve the sport of hunting through education, conservation and the promotion of hunting heritage. The 501(c)(4) side can work on legislative and policy matters that affect the future of hunting, while the foundation runs the charitable programs. HSCF marked its 50th anniversary in 2022 and states that it is independent of Safari Club International and other groups.

The foundation’s work reaches well beyond the Houston area. As of 2022, HSCF reported awarding 550 scholarships worth about $2.5 million and more than $4 million in grants for wildlife, habitat and conservation projects funded by hunters. It runs youth outdoor education, hunter education and career-training programs. It also hosts an annual hunting convention in the Houston area and produces Hunting Matters, a weekly radio show and podcast on KPRC AM 950.
