Whitetails Unlimited Awards Over 1700 Grants Totaling More than $2.2 Million

Whitetails Unlimited's Grassroots Program is as strong as it has ever been. This program is accountable for providing grants to support local projects that strengthen WTU's mission. During 2018, Whitetails Unlimited awarded 1747 grants to mission-related projects totaling $2,219,656. Our dedicated volunteers and entire membership base enjoy sharing in the responsibility of managing the nation's most sought after big-game animal. They have witnessed the development of some of WTU's most successful programs and initiatives, including Staying on Target, HOPE for Wildlife, Preserving the Hunting Tradition, and our DEER Program.

Over the past 37 years, Whitetails Unlimited has recruited thousands of conservation minded individuals to join its ranks as chapter volunteers. As WTU volunteers, they share similar values with others concerned about the white-tailed deer, its habitat, and the future of deer hunting. Their continued dedication will remain a vital ingredient in the organization's formula for success as we continue our journey through the 21st century.
