Ways to Get Involved / Friends & Sponsors

Fishing’s Future may be appealing to you for the financial sponsorships of various levels, each reflecting the various missions of Fishing's Future. What is unique about Fishing's Future is our ability to team a variety of sectors of the community, to foster a unique combination of outcomes for kids--outcomes that can have lasting impact on their enjoyment of the outdoors, bonding within their family relationships, stewardship of the environment, and love of a sport. All proceeds go directly to supporting our mission and your donation is tax deductible. Contact us to volunteer at a Family Fish Camp Level of Sponsorship.

  • Sponsor a Jr. Angler at a Family Fish Camp for $25.00
  • Sponsor a 5 Jr. Anglers at a Family Fish Camp for $100.00
  • Sponsor 10 Jr. Anglers at a Family Fish Camp for $250.00
  • Sponsor 15 Jr. Anglers at a Family Fish Camp for $300.00
  • Sponsoring a single Family Fish Camp with a $400 donation can bring 30 youth together with their parents for a workshop saturated with information taught by master anglers about knots and hooks, rules and regulations, baits and lures, rods and reels, and casting. For many families, the camp inspires them to go out that day and buy fishing poles. A $400 investment in learning on one Saturday, can translate into an on-going influence, for many more weekends to come, on families spending time together in the great outdoors. Sponsors are mentioned in Press releases, are allowed to fly their banner and place business cards and company information into Captain's Bags.
  • The $1000 Any-Kid-Anywhere! Sponsorship allows for the team to offer the Family Fish Camp in areas that rarely get served with unique workshops. Your donation supports the organization in harder-to-reach parts of the state, where transportation and lodging costs become necessary to bring in the professional and master anglers. Your donation sends a clear message that EVERY child matters…and enjoying the sport of fishing can be accessible to “Any Kid, Anywhere!” Sponsors are mentioned in Press releases, are allowed to fly their banner and place business cards and company information into Captain's Bags.
     
  • The $1500 “Leave No Trace” Sponsorship is a step-up to a higher level donation to “step-up” the mission and focus broader attention beyond the main goals of sport and family that are at the core of Fishing’s Future. Fishing’s Future hopes to instill the importance of environmental stewardship in our youth. Part of every Family Fish Camp involves litter awareness in the areas in which we choose to fish, and the importance of taking an active lead in modeling for others to lend a hand in helping to clean our outdoor public spaces. Your donation helps to highlight this important mission of Fishing’s Future during the Family Fish Camps. Sponsors are mentioned in Press releases, are allowed to fly their banner and place business cards and company information into Captain's Bags and set up a booth at the Family Fish Camp to promote their organization.
  • A $2500 Chapter Sponsorship can influence an entire community. Initiating a new chapter of Fishing’s Future in a new area of the state involves training seminars, advertising and PR, as well as equipment and materials purchases. The seed monies from a chapter sponsorship can ensure the infrastructure for ongoing Family Fish Camps. This level gets sponsor exclusive chapter rights and no other local sponsor will be allowed to fly a banner. (Corporate sponsor's banners will fly regardless.)for the first two years. Sponsor's name is proudly mentioned in all Press releases, is allowed to place business cards and company information into Captain's Bags, and set up a booth to promote their organization for the first two years.
  • The $5,000 Outdoor Sponsorship takes the message of Fishing’s Future onto outdoor advertisement, spreading the mission to an entire community. Fostering family relationships, learning an outdoor sport, hooking kids on nature, and taking care of our environment are missions that people should be reminded of like a broken record—over and over and over. The value of an Outdoor Sponsorship can play a critical role in the success of the organizations’ missions, and be a key to broadening awareness of an answer and a hope for tens of thousands of families who might otherwise never hear of the opportunities offered to them by Fishing’s Future. Sponsors are mentioned in Press releases, are allowed to fly their banner and place business cards and company information into Captain's Bags and set up a booth to promote their organization. This lever of sponsorship also received a speaking engagement to sponsor's staff and employees by founder Shane Wilson.
  • The $10,000 Environmental Sponsorship and the $20,000 Family Bonds Sponsorship are our highest levels of sponsorship, reflecting our most important goals—children with parents, in nature, bonding through an outdoor sport. In a day and age where family ties are at risk, fishing is one of the very few sports which ANYONE, in any state can enjoy TOGETHER, with their parent or child. Other sports usually require the parent OR the child, to be a passive spectator, separated from one another. There are RARE opportunities like fishing that puts the child and the parent TOGETHER into an enjoyable OUTDOOR sport where age or strength barriers between parents and children simply dissolve. EVERYONE is equal when fishing, and any competitiveness, is primarily directed at nature, rather than each other. Because of this, Fishing’s Future recognizes the unique opportunity for USING the sport of fishing to strengthen the family bond. For MANY parents, it’s simply a matter of needing to learn the skills. Through Family Fish Camps, that missing piece of the puzzle is solved.
  • The $20,000 Family Bonds Sponsorship greatly supports Fishing’s Future's ability to go national in its campaign to open chapters in all 50 states, where families can come to Family Fish Camps. It’s a unique opportunity that, with your support, will open the door wide for families—teaching them the skills that for a lifetime, will allow them to be outside together, forcing them to VISIT with one another while waiting for “the bite” …not realizing, that all along, it was THEY who were baited, THEY who were hooked…intentionally, long ago. Sponsors are mentioned in Press releases, are allowed to fly their banner and place business cards and company information into Captain's Bags and set up a booth to promote their organization. This lever of sponsorship also received a Company Family Fish Camp and a speaking engagement to sponsor's staff and employees by founder Shane Wilson.
