BUILT FROM A LOVE OF FAITH, FAMILY & THE OUTDOORS.
3rd Coast Country Outdoors Foundation grew from a simple belief: the outdoors can change lives.
What began as a love for hunting, fishing, family, faith, and time spent outdoors became something bigger—a desire to give young people and families opportunities they may not otherwise have.
Through faith, mentorship, donated hunts, fishing experiences, outdoor gear, and partnerships with people who believe in the mission, we're working to open those doors.
This isn't just about hunting or fishing. It's about relationships. Responsibility. Faith. Memories. And giving the next generation something worth carrying forward.
OUR STORY
FROM 3RD COAST COUNTRY OUTDOORS TO SOMETHING MORE.
3rd Coast Country Outdoors began in 2017 with a love for hunting, fishing, family, faith, and the outdoor way of life.
Over the years, it became more than a name. Through outdoor shows, partnerships, friendships, and relationships with people across the outdoor community, we saw firsthand how willing people were to share what they had—gear, knowledge, time, and opportunities.
We also saw the other side of it.
There are kids and families who would love the opportunity to hunt, fish, or simply experience the outdoors but may never get that chance. Sometimes the barrier is money. Sometimes it's access. Sometimes they simply don't have someone in their life to show them the way.
That became the reason for something bigger.
In 2026, 3rd Coast Country Outdoors Foundation was formed to turn those relationships, resources, and years of experience into opportunities for others.
What started with a love for the outdoors became a mission to give it away.
THE NAME WAS ALREADY THERE.
THE COMMUNITY WAS ALREADY THERE.
NOW THERE'S A MISSION BEHIND IT.
