The LaMonte Society, through extraordinary contributions of $500,000 - $999,999, honors Francesca LaMonte's remarkable legacy as a founding force in IGFA's history. As IGFA's founding secretary and a pioneering female leader in recreational fishing, LaMonte united scientific expertise with organizational stewardship, setting new standards in both research and publications during her 39-year tenure. Today, LaMonte Society members carry forward her dedication through their transformative giving. These visionary donors, like LaMonte herself, understand the powerful intersection of science and sport, enabling IGFA to advance cutting-edge research, conservation, and educational initiatives while upholding the rigorous standards that defined LaMonte's distinguished career.
