Since 1989 the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation (CSF) has maintained a singleness of purpose that has guided the organization to become the most respected and trusted sportsmen’s organization in the political arena. CSF’s mission is to work with Congress, governors, and state legislatures to protect and advance hunting, recreational angling and shooting and trapping.
The unique and collective force of the Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus (CSC), the Governors Sportsmen’s Caucus (GSC) and the National Assembly of Sportsmen’s Caucuses (NASC), working closely with CSF, serves as an unprecedented network of pro-sportsmen elected officials that advance the agenda of America’s hunters and anglers.
CSF’s stature as the sportsmen’s leader on policy issues has steadily grown through active involvement within the hunting and fishing conservation community, including staff leadership and engagement in the American Wildlife Conservation Partners (AWCP), Council to Advance Hunting and Shooting Sports (CHASS), National Fish Habitat Partnership Board (NFHP) and FishNet at the national level, the Western Governors Association (WAG) GetOut West! Advisory Group, Families Afield and the Sunday Hunting Coalition at the state level.
Additionally, CSF is the only organization represented on the four federally chartered advisory councils (FAC) dealing with hunting and recreational fishing – the Wildlife and Hunting Heritage Conservation Council (WHHCC), the Sport Fishing and Boating Partnership Council (SFBPC), the Marine Protected Areas (MPA FAC) and the Marine Fisheries Advisory Committee (MFAC).
Organization Profile
The Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation provides support and guidance for three distinct caucuses operating at both the Federal and State level:

With nearly 300 members, the bipartisan Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus has grown into one of the largest and most effective caucuses in the US Congress.

Governors Sportmen’s Caucus
The 23 Governors of the Governors Sportsmen’s Caucus facilitates communication and information exchange between Governors in support of legislation and regulations that protect and advance hunting, recreational fishing and shooting and trapping.
National Assembly of Sportsmen’s Caucuses
Forty two state caucuses and over 2,000 state legislators are united under the National Assembly of Sportsmen’s Caucuses umbrella. The NASC facilitates the interaction and idea exchange among state caucus leaders and the outdoor community.
