Harrison "H" Hilbert was one of a kind. Military veteran, conservationist, alpinist, whitewater river runner, fishing guide,
outdoor programming innovator, and a kind and good friend to many. One of H's greatest passions was his work in
outdoor education. He founded the Outdoor Program at Idaho State University, a program which through the years has
changed countless lives.

In order to help continue his outdoor legacy, an endowment is being established in his name: The Harrison "H" Hilbert Outdoor Endowment. The endowment is being created through the Idaho State University Foundation.

Donations are tax deductible. All monies received will be placed in safe investments. Only the interest on the principal is used. That means that your donation, along with others, will provide benefits far into the future and help to assure that "H's" contributions to the outdoor world will continue to live on.
