Sustainability Fund:

Texan by Nature’s Conservation Partner Program is the cornerstone of our mission, enabling our staff to assess and address gaps identified by our 95+ partners in marketing, strategy, outreach, and more. In order to perpetually sustain this program, we are building a Sustainability Fund, made up of 30 exclusive donors. Once established, this fund allows our team, and the TxN Conservation Innovation Council made up of Sustainability Fund members, to focus more time and attention on identifying the biggest needs for the future of conservation. Learn more here.

Program and Project Support:

Is there a Conservation Wrangler, TxN Certification, or Symposia that speaks to your interests and priorities? Do you have a passion for supporting a program, such as Conservation Partners or TxN20? Texan by Nature works hard to find additional connections and supporters for our conservation partners, and we know they would be grateful for your support. Contact us to discuss your project interests! Program and project sponsors receive website logo recognition, social media recognition, special feature blog posts, inclusion in the TxN Annual Report, press release, and TxN-provided impact language for CSR/ESG reporting.

Become a Business Partner or Conservation Partner to connect with like-minded organizations, form public-private partnerships, and collaborate on data-based conservation initiatives. Cross-industry partnerships are key to building an enduring and effective culture of conservation in Texas. You can also complete a TxN Certification or Conservation Wrangler project.
