Our Legacy
A Lasting Tribute
The Tom Ford Foundation was established to acknowledge the enduring impact of Tom Ford's life and work. Throughout his life, Tom mentored young hunters to become responsible individuals both in the field, on the ponds and in life as they became adults. Now, through meaningful initiatives, we honor his legacy while engaging the youth in outdoor experiences that inspire and empower them to pursue their passions.



Our Founders
Twenty-five generous men and women came together in 2022 after Tom’s passing to celebrate his life and contributions to society. They pulled significant funds together to plant an Oak Tree and erect a bench and plaque in his honor - now at the Greater Houston Sporting Club. These funds were the nucleus in deciding to start the Tom Ford Foundation and initiate the mission and events we enjoy today.
