TEXAS FOUNDATION FOR CONSERVATION

Texas Foundation for Conservation is a Texas-based 501(c)(3) public charity that focuses on fish and wildlife conservation through education, outreach, advocacy, and targeted grant activity. The organization conducts public-facing outreach and provides science-based information to influence conservation policy and practice in Texas. The foundation is an active participant in state and federal conservation processes (including testimony at Texas legislative hearings and engagement in environmental review processes) and files annual Form 990 returns; its executive leadership has included John Shepperd as Executive Director. In recent years the organization’s reported revenue grew substantially and it has reported program and outreach activity across multiple filing years through 2024. The organization does not appear to maintain a consistently accessible public website (no stable URL found), but it is documented in federal filings and in several public third-party nonprofit profiles and government/agency outreach records, and it is donor-facing via typical nonprofit reporting mechanisms (IRS filings, public profiles).
