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.

    Expenses $149,065

  • 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.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 19 October 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
