At the Cabela Family Foundation, we stand proud with our partners and are always looking for ways to foster and strengthen relationships.
Our Partners
"Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, working together is success."
— Henry Ford
International Order of T. Roosevelt
The International Order of T Roosevelt is dedicated to preserving the rich American outdoor traditions of hunting, fishing, and conservation. The organization is built on the principles of Theodore Roosevelt, a man who deeply understood the importance of nature and its conservation. IOTR believes in the power of the great outdoors and the traditions that have been passed down through generations.
Kuiu
KUIU is obsessed with engineering the world's most innovative performance hunting gear. Their founder, Jason Hairston, had a vision for hunting gear that pushed the boundaries of performance, ultralight weight, and technology development. KUIU lives that vision every day with its customers and employees. When you combine their passion for the future of wildlife with their Conservation Direct program, it’s easy to see why they’re a leader in the outdoor space. Conservation Direct is entirely company and customer funded, where every dollar invested goes toward a tangible conservation project that contributors and volunteers can see. No one involved with Conservation Direct gets paid — all dollars and volunteer hours go toward the current project they’re pursuing.
Gunwerks
Gunwerks is considered by many to be the leading manufacturer of the finest hunting rifles on the market today. They have revolutionized the long-range game time and time again, pushing the boundaries of technology and innovation since their inception. They're laser focused on building the finest rifles, ammo, accessories, and optics available, so end users can experience marksmanship unlike they've ever seen. We think they summed it up perfectly with, "From the rifle build to the perfect shot, Gunwerks is your partner in the pursuit of long-range perfection."
Safari Medic
Without a doubt, Mountain Medic and Safari Medic kits are the very best in the world, forged by over 20 years of real medical and trauma experience and almost two decades of international and mountain hunting. The founder, Brian Tallerico, was a US Navy medical officer, serving our country immediately post 9/11, treating thousands of sailors, soldiers, marines and airmen – active duty and retired. After being honorably discharged, he decided to combine his medical experience with his woodsman-ship and dedicate his life to ensuring hunters and outdoorsmen and women are prepared for when things go south. As Doc says, “Hope is not a plan.”
Kenetrek Boots
Kenetrek Boots were born out of passion for sheep hunting and their desire to find a pair of boots that wouldn't leave feet all beat up and screaming in pain when someone strapped on a heavy pack, picked up a rifle or bow, and headed above the tree line for a week of chasing sheep in rough weather. And since then, they've continued to design, test in the field, modify and repeat. . .regularly. They've been the most-trusted boot of Dan Cabela on all his adventures around the world for almost 20 years now.
Boy Scouts of America
The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) provides the nation’s foremost youth program of character development and values-based leadership training, which helps young people be “Prepared. For Life.®” The Scouting organization is composed of approximately 2.2 million youth members between the ages of 5 and 21 and approximately 800,000 volunteers in local councils throughout the United States and its territories.
The Ivan Carter Wildlife Conservation Alliance
The Ivan Carter Wildlife Conservation Alliance was founded by Ivan Carter. Following 30 years of working in the field in many many of Africas great wildlife areas and the production of several series aired on US television channels about human wildlife conflict, Ivan decided to start a foundation of his own and make a difference to the very front line of conservation.
Zambeze Delta Conservation
Conservationist Mark Haldane has invested 24 years of his life restoring a unique ecosystem that was completely destroyed by civil war in Mozambique. This is an exceptional example of landscape recovery where a whole ecosystem of several hundred thousand acres has been recovered - wildlife numbers have grown from almost zero to around 3000% increase across all species - this has been largely as a result of exceptional antipoaching and community engagement throughout the area led by our partners at Zambeze Delta Conservation.
Wild Harvest Initiative
The Wild Harvest Initiative® is the first serious effort to synthesize and evaluate the total economic, conservation and social benefits of recreational wild animal harvests in the US and Canada. Its scientific approach, combined with a strategic knowledge mobilization and advocacy plan, will reframe debates about the relevance of wild and natural harvests in modern North America. This is not a project, but a narrative-changing program. It is not a finite intervention, but a relentless innovation. It does not seek to change society but takes energy from society’s culture of change.
