About Camo Cares
Camo Cares centers its grantmaking on sending children with life-threatening illnesses and disabilities, along with wounded military veterans, on dream hunts and outdoor adventures. That mission shows up in repeated general donations to groups that arrange hunting and outdoor experiences, including Fearless Outdoorsman and Military Warriors Support, both of which received $87,500 in 2025. The foundation also supports organizations tied to therapeutic outdoor experiences and PTSD-related support, using unrestricted grants rather than project-specific awards. Recent giving points to a small set of recurring partners: Military Warrior Support Fdn received $70,000 in 2024 and $55,000 in 2023, while One Wish Foundation received $30,000 in 2025, $25,000 in 2024, and $25,000 in 2023. Wounded Heroes Hunting Cam also appears multiple times across 2023 to 2025, alongside Hunt of a Lifetime, showing an ongoing pattern of support for outdoor-access charities that serve veterans and children. The foundation’s public mission and its grant history align closely, with general donations directed to groups that provide the experiences Camo Cares says it exists to fund.
What Camo Cares Funds
For wounded-veteran support, Camo Cares gave $87,500 in 2025 to Military Warriors Support and $70,000 in 2024 to Military Warrior Support Fdn, both in San Antonio. In youth-focused outdoor recreation, it awarded $40,000 in 2023 to Hunt of a Lifetime in Harborcreek, Pennsylvania, followed by $5,000 grants in 2024 and 2025 to the same organization. The foundation also backs organizations that serve veterans through hunting and outdoor access: Wounded Heroes Hunting Cam received $30,000 in 2025 and $20,000 in 2024. Smaller grants extend the pattern to other outdoor groups, including $5,000 to Outdoor Buddies Inc in Fort Collins in 2025 and $5,000 to Nevins Hunting Friends in Chicora in 2025.
