About This Partnership
Established in 1986, The John M. O’Quinn Foundation honors the legacy of founder John M. O’Quinn by supporting conservation, education, health and programs benefiting underprivileged youth in Houston and surrounding communities. The foundation’s long-time support of TPWF has been instrumental to projects that benefit both local Houstonians and Texans at large, including educational programming for Sheldon Lake State Park and Environmental Learning Center, a longstanding community resource in Houston. The foundation is also supporting upcoming enhancements to the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens that will ensure that Texans can learn about and enjoy healthy populations of bass, trout, and other freshwater sportfish for generations to come. And, when Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation set out to raise $2 million to fund much-needed projects at all Texas State Parks for their centennial anniversary in 2023, The John M. O’Quinn Foundation was one of several generous Centennial Champions to offer matching dollars.
