About International Order of T Roosevelt
The International Order of T Roosevelt’s largest recent grants went to T Roosevelt Action Inc, which received $288,432 in both 2024 and 2025 for education, lobbying, and operations support. That repeated award points to a funder that backs both advocacy and organizational capacity alongside outdoor education. The foundation’s grantmaking also reaches groups centered on hunting, fishing, and wildlife stewardship, including Turning Point USA, Hunter Nation Foundation, and USA Shooting. Across the recent grants list, the pattern is consistent: support for organizations that teach about the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation, defend hunting and fishing heritage, and connect those themes to public engagement. Several grants are directed to groups working in education rather than direct service, which aligns with the foundation’s stated emphasis on youth outdoor education, species and habitat conservation, and public policy advocacy. The recent awards also show a mix of national organizations and state-based groups, suggesting a funder that invests in both broad advocacy networks and place-based conservation education efforts.
