The Kentucky Fish & Wildlife Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, created in 1995 shortly after the opening of the Dr. James
C. Salato Wildlife Education Center. Through charitable donations by
individuals and corporate sponsors, the Foundation works with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources to support the efforts of the
Salato Wildlife Education Center, conservation education programs for
Kentucky youth, and land acquisition.
