HUNTERS HELPING THE HUNGRY MATCH CAMPAIGN
Supporting Nebraska Families & Conservation
The Hunters Helping the Hungry Program, established in 2012, has provided nearly 100,000 pounds of ground venison to Nebraska families in need.
​
As participation and deer donations increased, program costs grew significantly — placing pressure on available funding.
MEETING A GROWNING NEED
With more deer being donated each year, processing and operational expenses began to outpace monetary contributions.
Without additional support, the program faced the possibility of limiting donations.
BGCA'S MATCHING INITIATIVE
Recognizing the importance of this program, the Big Game Conservation Association launched a targeted matching donation campaign.
For every dollar donated, BGCA pledged to match contributions — up to $5,000.
Thanks to the generosity of supporters and partners, the campaign successfully reached its goal.
• $5,000 in donor contributions
• $5,000 BGCA match
Total Contribution: $10,000
These funds directly supported the continued success of the Hunters Helping the Hungry Program.
