LICENSE CHARITABLE GIVING: Two worthy causes to support 
when buying your next hunting or fishing license 
…details ahead on Passport to Texas. 

This is Passport to Texas

When licenses go on sale August 15, Texas hunters and 
anglers may donate to one of two worthy non-profits. 

11—You can make the voluntary contribution of either one dollar, five 
dollars, ten dollars or twenty dollars to either the Fund for Veteran’s 
Assistance, or to help feed Texas families with a donation to Hunters 
for the Hungry.

Justin Halvorsen is revenue director at Texas Parks and 
Wildlife, and says donating is voluntary and easy.

08— It’s through any one of our sales channels. Either online, over the 
phone, at a retail agent, or any one of our parks and wildlife locations.

The agency keeps close tabs the donations.

07— And then, at the end of every month, it’ll go into a separate pot, 
and we’ll send it along to those respective entities [nonprofits].

The program debuted last season and Texans were 
generous; TPW distributed, $193-thousand to the Fund for 
Veteran’s, and $106-thousand to Hunters for the Hungry. 
You may ask: is my donation tax deductible?

16— That is a great question. And there will be a receipt that gets 
printed as part of this that specifically says that this is a donation to 
the Veteran’s Fund or Hunters for the Hungry. And then, really, it’s up 
to the individual and their tax preparer to make that ultimate decision.

Request an itemized receipt from retailers, and find more 
information on the TPW website.

That's our show… Funding provided in part by Ram
