About Us
Wildscape's Goal Is To Benefit Kansans
We’re a “Kansas Only” organization with all funds raised staying in the state. No monies raised are sent out of state to support national parent organizations, and no fundraising companies are used to take a percentage of the funds they help raise.
The establishment of the Kansas Wildscape Foundation was authorized by the legislature in 1990 in coordination with the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks.
The legislation authorized the establishment of an independent 501c3, tax-exempt foundation dedicated to raising funds and accepting other tax-deductible donations to benefit wildlife and outdoor recreation needs in Kansas.
The Foundation was officially founded on February 15, 1991 and became operational on August 1, 1991.
