Gifts to the Alliance through an individual or club membership , or corporate partnership , go directly to the advocacy fight as we work in state and federal legislatures to push back against bills that would limit hunting , fishing and trapping . These funds are also used to push back against dangerous ballot issues and ensure the public is fully aware of the true impact of these initiatives before going to the ballot box . Advocacy is in our DNA and the Alliance allows us to tirelessly fight for you no matter where that fight needs to take place . Donations to the Alliance generally aren ’ t tax deductible .

Donations to the Foundation are tax deductible .
Regardless the fight , your dollars make a huge difference . There are many worthy causes out there that you could support , and we know , especially right now , there are countless and ever-increasing demands on your resources . We are grateful for you and your support .
