The Missouri Conservation Heritage Foundation

The Missouri Conservation Heritage Foundation (MCHF) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3)
organization founded in 1997 to advance conservation and the appreciation of
Missouri’s natural resources, including fish, forest and wildlife. We invest in projects
and programs that support clean water, healthy habitats and plentiful wildlife. We
bring that full circle by connecting people to nature through a variety of partners and
events.
Since our founding we have allocated more than $27 million for conservation funding
statewide and beyond, plus $13.3 million to the Johnny Morris Institute of Fisheries,
Wetlands and Aquatic Systems . This means we invest in everything from migratory
bird programs to youth hunting and fishing events to endangered species habitat
protection. We support nature centers, as well as hiking and wildlife viewing activities
that allows people to enjoy the outdoors in urban and rural areas.
MCHF is governed by a volunteer board of directors comprised of conservation,
community and business leaders.
