PURPOSEFUL PASSION

PROTECTING EVERYONE ’ S PASSION REQUIRES SUPPORT . HERE ARE A FEW WAYS TO HELP .

Members and donors are the lifeblood of the Sportsmen ’ s Alliance and the Sportsmen ’ s Alliance Foundation . It ’ s because of you that we can monitor legislation , lobby on your behalf and file a lawsuit or join a case to make sure your interests are protected .

There are many ways to support both organizations . Here are just two ways for each .
Sportsmen ’ s Alliance The Sportsmen ’ s Alliance is a 501 ( c ) 4 and engages in lobbying at the state and federal levels . By becoming a member , you ’ re helping us monitor thousands of legislative bills nationwide every year . Under most situations , this is not a tax-deductible expense .
Recurring Membership : Make sure your membership never lapses by checking the “ make this an annual gift ” box at checkout . Your membership will automatically renew the following year and you won ’ t miss a beat — or an issue of The Sportsmen ’ s Advocate . Recurring memberships save the Sportsmen ’ s
Alliance time and money by reducing the number of reminder emails and snail mails we send while streamlining and keeping the accounting easy on the backend .
Keep the Incentives : At checkout you can select to receive or forego your incentives under the “ Gift Opt Out ” dropdown . By selecting “ Yes , keep my gifts ,” your entire membership amount goes to the fight !
Sportsmen ’ s Alliance Foundation The Sportsmen ’ s Alliance Foundation is a 501 ( c ) 3 and allows us to engage in educational outreach , research and litigation in court . You can donate any amount you like and , like membership in the Alliance , you can make your selected donation a recurring annual gift . Donations to the Foundation are tax deductible .
Sportsmen ’ s Legal Defense Fund : Beyond just donating to the foundation , you can earmark your donation to be used specifically for litigation purposes . By donating to the legal
defense fund , you ’ re supporting our legal fights in state and federal court cases concerning public lands , ammunition use , predator management and an end to Endangered Species Act abuses .
Education : If you ’ d rather fund the future and donate to our educational efforts , you can earmark your donation to support those efforts , which include Conservation Adventures — our highschool science curriculum that teaches students the story and science behind the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation using the funding mechanisms of hunting , fishing , trapping , boating and recreational shooting .
Bonus Opportunities ! If you ’ re an Alliance member and already donate to the Foundation , you can support our mission by attending events , like our charity shoots , or buying raffle tickets , like MEGA Raffle , which give you a shot to win great hunting and fishing trips around the world , dozens of guns , optics , ammo and more ! See our Events Calendar on page 40 for more information on these opportunities .
