SportDOG Brand Conservation Fund®

For the Birds Twenty Years Out of Range  

We at SportDOG and our families enjoy many of the same hunting opportunities and outdoor activities that our customers do. As a result, we recognize the importance of wise conservation and habitat-enhancement initiatives. We support conservation efforts by contributing time and funding to projects that ensure hunters will have wild places to hunt wild game for generations to come. From habitat-enhancement projects at the local level to partnerships with some of the most proactive and respected national conservation organizations, SportDOG is proud to contribute.

Our Conservation Fund Program highlights our support for these grassroots organizations, which work with state, federal, and private wildlife and land management agencies to conserve wild game populations and critical habitat that wildlife depends on. 

Check back often so we can tell you more about how the SportDOG Brand Conservation Fund® is working to enhance our mutual enjoyment of hunting with sporting dogs, friends and family.

SportDOG Brand Conservation Fund® Youth Grant Program

Conservation is all about the future. At SportDOG Brand®, we want to help ensure that tomorrow’s conservationists have the motivation and funding they need to continue the sporting community’s proud legacy of wise use of our natural resources.   Click here for more.

 

We created the Kids in Conservation program, an extension of our Conservation Fund, to lend support to and recognize groups and individuals whose efforts are focused on a better tomorrow for wildlife and the wild places in which it thrives.

A key component of Kids in Conservation is an annual grant program through which a contribution will be made to an Conservation Fundenterprising, forward-thinking youth organization that has demonstrated enthusiasm and ambition with regard to habitat conservation. For 2010, SportDOG Brand® will be awarding one grant of $1000 to an individual or group who presents detailed plans for a project or series of projects aimed at improving or increasing wildlife habitat.

It is our hope that our efforts to encourage tomorrow’s conservationists will ensure a bright conservation future for generations to come.
