Overview

Mission

The organization's mission is to address food insecurity in Pennsylvania through the generosity of hunters and collaboration with strategic partners while helping to conserve and manage natural resources.

What it reported doing in 2025

The organization provided venison to food banks for the needy. The organization receives donated deer from hunters and processes the deer into meat for distribution to food banks.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 64% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
