Overview

Mission

Hunter education and safety. Youth training. Environmental and conservation practices.

What it reported doing in 2025

The organization conducts various hunter safety training programs with a special emphasis on youth training. Approximately 40-90 youth are instructed on hunter safety training twice a year with rifle and shotgun. Teaches a hunters education course to educate on hunting, outdoor ethics, conservation, law, rules and safety required by Iowa hunters for their hunting license. Also provides women specific programs to educate women on shooting, gun safety, and related outdoor activities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
