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.
