Core offering

The Georgia Chapter of SCI is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit volunteer organization that raises funds and delivers programs to promote and protect hunting heritage. Its offerings combine annual fundraising banquets and auctions with structured hunter education programs (youth and adult), wildlife conservation grants, and humanitarian outdoor recreation events for wounded veterans and active-duty military. Revenue is generated through event ticket/raffle/auction sales, tiered corporate sponsorships, and membership dues routed via Safari Club International.

Product overview

Georgia Chapter of SCI operates as a nonprofit organization offering a portfolio of programs rather than a unified technology product. Its offerings include educational programs (Youth Deer Hunt, Introduction to Hunting Firearms, First Timer Mentored Deer Hunt), humanitarian events (Wounded Veterans Fishing Weekend, Wounded Veterans Cast & Blast, Veterans Deer Hunt), and fundraising events (Annual Sportsman's Banquet & Auction, Conservation Classic Banquet & Auction). These programs work together to advance the chapter's mission of promoting hunting heritage, wildlife conservation, and supporting veterans.
