Wildlife for Tomorrow exists to accelerate and magnify the Arizona Game and Fish Department’s conservation impact through partnerships, philanthropy and public engagement.
Since 1990, Wildlife for Tomorrow (WFT)—originally founded as The Foundation for the Conservation of Arizona’s Wildlife—has worked to enhance the management, protection, and enjoyment of our state's priceless fish and wildlife resources.
As an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit, WFT works in collaboration with the Arizona Game and Fish Department. We provide crucial support for projects and educational activities when traditional resources are limited, ensuring that vital conservation work can move forward.
WFT is dedicated to making a direct and tangible impact within our state. We focus entirely on worthy projects in Arizona, and no funds are ever passed on to national offices. We do not attempt to influence legislative decisions or take positions on controversial issues. Our single purpose is to support projects that make a difference for the wildlife and people of Arizona.
We envision a future where all Arizonans are aware, engaged, and active in sustaining the state’s wildlife, habitats and outdoor traditions.
