250,000 Children Taught to Fish—Your Gift Powers the Next 250,000 

In 2019, the IGFA set out with a bold vision: transform how children are introduced to fishing and conservation. Through groundbreaking programs like Passports to Fishing, week-long camps, and free global resources, we didn’t just meet our goal of teaching 100,000 kids—we more than doubled it. Today, we’re proudly celebrating 250,000 children taught to fish around the world. And it was made possible by the generosity of anglers and supporters like you. 

Now, as we celebrate this incredible achievement, we invite you to help us reach the next 250,000—ensuring the sport we love thrives for generations to come.

When you give today, here’s the kind of impact your gift can create:

These programs don’t just introduce kids to fishing—they build lifelong anglers who are passionate about conservation and committed to protecting our waters. There is no better way to bet on the future of fishing than by supporting IGFA Education! 

All donations support IGFA’s global education initiatives as a whole. Examples above illustrate the kinds of opportunities your gift helps make possible. 

Thank You for Your Continued Support!
