Dallas Safari Club New Mexico

Dallas Safari Club New Mexico channels hunting passion into real conservation work. Working through the DSC Foundation, they raise and distribute funds to organizations serving hunters, shooters, veterans, and young people getting into the outdoors.

DSCNM doesn't just talk conservation—they write checks. Recent funding priorities include:

• •Youth shooting sports: $2,000 to Rio Rancho Trap Shooting Team for Scholastic Clay Target National Championships; $2,558 to Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation
• •School outdoor programs: $9,000 across 12 Albuquerque-area schools (Highland High, Monte Vista Elementary, James Monroe Middle, and 9 others) to launch outdoor adventure PE classes
• •Youth fishing: $3,000 to Aztec Kindergarten Annual Fishing Day at Lydia Rippey Elementary
• •Veteran outdoor access: $5,000 to Operation Phoenix Outdoors for Army veteran Erik Schei's New Mexico mule deer hunt
• •Wildlife habitat: $30,000 in pipe and materials to Gila National Forest for wildlife water source enclosures; $16,000 in materials to BLM Socorro District
• •Wildfire recovery: $8,000 + $6,269 to Philmont Scout Ranch wildfire recovery and educational programs

Beyond direct grants, DSCNM supports the political infrastructure protecting hunting rights:

Dallas Safari Club New Mexico contributed $4,100-$7,675 annually to Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation, which works with Congress, governors, and state legislatures to protect and advance hunting, angling, recreational shooting, and trapping.

They also supported: - Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies ($3,500) representing 24 states and Canadian provinces - New Mexico Council of Outfitters & Guides ($5,000) for economic impact analysis of hunting and fishing in the state - Pheasants Forever ($2,500) for conservation projects nationwide

DSCNM runs annual giveaways generating funds for conservation work:

They also host a 2025 Gala & Auction bringing in major funding.

DSCNM operates on a simple principle: young people and veterans who experience hunting and shooting sports become lifelong conservationists. By funding school programs, trap teams, fishing days, and veteran hunts, they're investing in the next generation of people who will hunt, fish, and advocate for public lands.
