Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
First Hunt Foundation's mission is to recruit, retain and reactivate hunters through helping connect mentors with those individuals desiring to hunt.
Activities or mission (Part I)
See Schedule O
-
FHF is working hard to become the largest new hunter mentoring organization in the U.S. FHF is striving to establish best business management practices to be sustainable for the long term. FHF has strong leadership in the three National Programs; including Share the HERitage, a program that focuses on recruiting and training more girls and women, Connecting Hunters and Heroes, a program focused on opening opportunities for veterans and emergency responders, and their families; and Forgotten Rites who works with underserved communities and specifically minorities. During 2024 FHF dedicated significant resources towards the Share the HERitage events, with numerous mentored events being held nationwide.
Expenses $143,197
-
In addition to the Share the HERitage events in 4a, FHF was able to host events for Connecting Hunters and Heroes and Forgotten Rites, as well as numerous events welcoming both adults and youth who have a desire to learn about hunting. FHF seeks to find mentees or new hunters of all ages, genders and ethnicities that have a desire to learn about hunting. This is completed both by having mentor days, which are the days spent teaching a hunting skill or actually taking a mentee out on their first hunts. During the year there were hunts held focusing on mentoring hunters, including youth, minorities, and female hunters. The main pillars of the FHF are the R3 mission of recruiting, retaining, or reactivating hunters.

FHF is working to recruit state, regional and national leaders who can volunteer their time in organizing our growing organization. Forming local FHF Chapters is a priority for FHF leaders where training can be organized within a more structured environment. Additionally, the FHF is striving to strengthen the existing chapters. FHF is continuing to strengthen its social media presence better organized to market our message.F HF seeks to recruit mentors that in turn will train and take out new hunters. Recruiting mentors is one of FHFs main focus as there is a direct relationship between the number of new hunters trained and the number of available mentors. In the current year, FHF continued to sign up background checked mentors who are available to help new hunters learn how to hunt. FHF has mentors in all 50 states. FHF attended major outdoor trade shows to recruit mentors and develop networks with State Fish & Game agencies and outdoor industry vendors.
