Dallas Safari Club’s mission is to ensure the conservation of wildlife through public engagement, education and advocacy for well-regulated hunting and sustainable use.
Dallas Safari Club channels its giving toward wildlife conservation through public engagement, education, advocacy, and well-regulated hunting. The largest recent grant in the record was $500,000 to DSC Foundation Inc in 2024, followed by $300,000 to the same organization in 2025, indicating a strong and repeated relationship within its own foundation structure. Recent awards also reached Conservation Force and the Congressional Sportmen's Foundation, showing support for policy-oriented conservation work alongside field and education efforts. The foundation’s stated mission links conservation with sustainable use, and that framing appears throughout its grant activity. Its active programs include emergency anti-poaching support in Africa, conservation education recognition, and a global care fund for conservation workers injured or killed in the field. Annual grants total $1,088,040, with support that is project-based and tied to conservation program funding and capacity building. Recipients in the recent grant list are concentrated in wildlife conservation, with awards to organizations in Dallas, Washington, Anchorage, and Metairie. The pattern shows a funder that combines direct conservation support with advocacy, education, and emergency relief for people working in wildlife protection.
Wildlife conservation is the clearest through line in Dallas Safari Club’s grantmaking. It awarded $100,000 in 2025 to Conservation Force in Metairie, Louisiana for wildlife conservation, and $75,000 in 2025 to the Congressional Sportmen's Foundation in Washington, DC for wildlife conservation. Those grants sit alongside smaller awards to the same policy and advocacy ecosystem, suggesting sustained support for organizations working on wildlife management and conservation policy. The foundation also backs organizations tied to hunting and conservation advocacy. In 2024, it gave $30,000 to Alaska Prfessional Hunters Associat in Anchorage, Alaska for wildlife conservaato, and in 2025 it gave $25,000 to Alaska Professional Hunters Association in Anchorage for wildlife conservation. Education is part of the mix through the DSC Foundation Education Award, which recognizes leadership in wildlife conservation education and the connection between ethical hunting and ecosystem restoration. Its active programs also extend to anti-poaching and emergency conservation support in Africa.

Dallas Safari Club’s recent grants show a wide spread in check size, from a 25th percentile of $28,750 to a median of $62,500 and a 75th percentile of $150,000. The grant list also includes a very large award of $500,000, which sits above the typical range and points to a mix of standard project grants and larger internal or affiliated support. The organization appears to give through a program-based model: the DSC Grant Program accepts unsolicited applications, while Hunter’s Care and the Global Care Fund are structured initiatives. The recent list also suggests repeat support for some recipients over multiple years, including awards in both 2024 and 2025 to the same organizations.
