About Us
The East Foundation supports wildlife conservation and other public benefits of ranching and private land stewardship. Our charitable activities are operated as an integrated program of research, education and outreach in pursuit of our mission of supporting wildlife conservation on native rangelands.
The platform for our research and education efforts includes over 218,000 acres of native South Texas rangeland, operated as six separate ranches in parts of Jim Hogg, Starr, Willacy and Kenedy Counties.

East Foundation Internship Program accepting applications
The East Foundation is looking for summer interns. Our internship program is a unique opportunity for students and recent graduates to gain hands-on experience in all facets of the Foundation’s operations—wildlife and vegetation surveys, facilities and infrastructure management, outreach and education, vegetation management, and all aspects of cattle production. The internship will be based primarily on the historic San Antonio Viejo Ranch; however, opportunities to work on and explore the diversity of the Foundation’s other ranches will abound.
Juniors, seniors, or recent graduates in Wildlife and Range Management, Natural Resources, Animal Science or related degree programs are encouraged to apply.

Because we need more management-minded scientists and more science-minded managers,
We engage with university programs to strengthen the pipeline of talented scientists and well-informed decision makers.
Because native rangelands are important for food, water, and wildlife,
We focus on factors that threaten the productivity of native range lands.
Because ranching and wildlife go together,
We are committed to finding solutions for both wildlife conservation and livestock production.
Because kids learn better when they are inspired by the outdoors,
We conduct innovative education programs on our lands.
Because private lands do matter,
We conduct outreach efforts that explain the public benefits of private lands.
