The Outdoor Heritage Foundation of Alaska is the official nonprofit partner of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G). Their purpose is simple: to help ensure that Alaska’s fish, wildlife, and outdoor traditions are protected for future generations.
Through donor support, they fund critical conservation, research, and outdoor education programs that might otherwise go unfunded. These include programs like Becoming an Outdoors-Woman, Youth Shooting Leagues, Alaskans Afield, and many other initiatives that teach Alaskans the skills, ethics, and stewardship needed to responsibly enjoy and protect Alaska's wild resources.
For more than a century, hunters and anglers have played a vital role in wildlife conservation across America. Through license purchases and excise taxes on outdoor equipment, they have helped fund the protection and management of fish and wildlife for everyone to enjoy. Join the Outdoor Heritage Foundation of Alaskan in keeping that tradition and help support the conservation efforts that keep Alaska’s wild places thriving.
