Five Programs. One Mission.

A chapter is only as good as the programs it funds. Below are the five areas where the East Ohio / Northwest Pennsylvania Chapter puts hunters’ dollars to work. Some are local, some are regional, and a few reach worldwide. Each one has a story, and most have decades of history behind them. However, all of them depend on members and supporters showing up. Here’s a quick look at all five.

We’re a 501(c) non-profit organization, and we hold one major fundraiser a year. As a result, every dollar that doesn’t keep the lights on goes back into the field. That includes youth shooting programs, conservation grants, veteran outreach and Sensory Safari events for the visually impaired.

Our conservation programs also stretch further than most, because they don’t rely on our money alone. For example, SCI’s Matching Grants program doubles what we donate to approved projects. In addition, several programs run through the SCI Foundation, the conservation and education arm of Safari Club International. So when you support the chapter, your money works locally and connects to a global effort at the same time.

Not sure which program matters most to you? Start with the one closest to your own story. For instance, parents often start with youth education. Veterans, on the other hand, often connect with our outreach work. Meanwhile, trophy hunters tend to find us through the certified scorers. Wherever you start, though, the same membership supports all five, and every program needs volunteers as much as dollars.
