Our History
Founded in 1991, Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation is the official nonprofit partner of Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Overseen by a board of trustees and administered by professional staff, the foundation has raised more than $235 million since its inception. The funds we raise ensure all Texans, today and in the future, can enjoy, explore, and be inspired by the lands, waters and wildlife of Texas.
