Overview
Mission
In fulfillment of its club charter, the Fish and Game Committee promotes our country’s proud hunting, fishing and conservation heritage. Our mission: to protect, propagate and increase fish and game and improve the habitat of all wildlife; to procure the enactment of laws for the protection and restoration of wildlife, forest, marshes, streams, and lakes, to promote the observance of such laws; to create and foster public sentiment in favor of the protection and restoration of woods, water and wildlife; to promote sportsmanship methods in hunting and fishing and proper respect for the rights of land owners; to cooperate with all associations and agencies having similar objectives.
What it reported doing in 2025
50 acres of land available for hunting, fishing and other shooting sports for approximately 900 members.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Membership-supported. 86% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
- 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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
