Support the Future of Fishing!

Together, Help the IGFA Cast a Future of Conservation and Angling Inspiration

As we reflect on an incredible year of angling and conservation milestones, one thing is clear: we couldn’t have done it without YOU. Your passion drives our mission to protect game fish and preserve the sport we all love for generations to come.

By making a gift of $50, $100, or $250, you’ll help us continue advancing conservation programs, educating young anglers, and celebrating the spirit of sportfishing. Every donation makes a difference and as a token of our appreciation, your generous gift will come with exclusive benefits—our way of saying thank you for supporting a brighter future for angling and conservation.

“The importance of billfish and what they mean to the oceans has always fascinated me, even as a young kid. Being part of the next generation of great fishermen, I feel it’s my duty to not only catch but also protect the fish and the sport I love.”

– Matias Raponi, college student and IGFA Great Marlin Race supporter

The IGFA Great Marlin Race combines cutting-edge satellite tagging technology with citizen science to track billfish migrations across the globe. Your contributions help fund this groundbreaking program, which advances scientific understanding and ensures the protection of these majestic species.

“The IGFA has truly enriched our family’s life. The programs have not only made our kids wiser but also inspired them to give back—our kids have been volunteering for the last two years, sharing their love and knowledge for the outdoors.”

– Annie and Rick Bouza, parents of young anglers

From family fishing clinics to our global Passports to Fishing education initiative, our youth programs nurture the next generation of anglers, fostering a love for the water and a commitment to protecting it. Every dollar you donate brings these transformative experiences to more children around the world.

“Thanks to the IGFA’s proactive approach, we are now gathering critical genetic data on a species important to the Central American fishing economy. I applaud the IGFA for getting out ahead of challenges long before they become beyond repair.”

– Tom Olivo, angler and conservationist

The Roosterfish Research Program exemplifies proactive conservation. By collecting vital genetic data of this beloved game fish, we’re safeguarding the future of this iconic species and the coastal economies that depend on it. Your gift enables us to continue this critical work.

“The IGFA fosters an incredible sense of camaraderie among competitive anglers—a unique community bound by shared respect, skill, and dedication. Supporting the IGFA is about advancing the sport and becoming part of something bigger and more meaningful.”

– Kat Vallilee, IGFA World Record holder

Through world records, prestigious tournaments, and angling rules, we celebrate anglers’ achievements and uphold the integrity of the sport. Your support sustains these opportunities, inspiring anglers to reach new heights while protecting the fish we all cherish.
