The Mzuri Wildlife Foundation was established in San Francisco over thirty years ago by a group of conservation minded hunters who saw the need for protecting wildlife and habitat firsthand on their hunting trips.
Out of this recognition grew the establishment of the Mzuri Wildlife Foundation, a 501(c)(3), which has been funding grass roots conservation efforts, conservation education and shooting education for youth since its inception.
The Mzuri Wildlife Foundation's efforts often “fly under the radar” as MWF funds projects that have little or no glamour but are dictated by need. MWF does not actively seek publicity for the projects it funds and does not have ancillary marketing and merchandising of products, magazines or memberships. In addition to annual donations from Friends of Mzuri, funds are raised at a one time a year, elegant black tie dinner held in San Francisco.
The MWF has been actively supported in its work by prominent organizations and individuals such as President Gerald Ford, the NRA Foundation and CWA. Internationally known artists, and well known outfitters, have wholly donated to the dinner auction since its inception.
MWF has no paid staff and is proud that it's Board serves without compensation. All funds donated to the Mzuri Wildlife Foundation find their way to the worthwhile projects that Mzuri funds.
