You can contribute to this effort by placing a donation - small or large - today. Simply download the general donation form and fax or mail it to the address shown. You can also donate to our annual banquet by downloading the banquet donation forms. 100% of profits go back to fund more conservation, education and humanitarian efforts.
A 501(c)4 organization, the Five Valleys Chapter of SCI funds numerous conservation, humanitarian and education efforts throughout the year. These efforts are made possible through the generous support of our members and interested businesses and organizations. While individuals and companies are often approached regarding a donation during our Annual Banquet planning, donations are accepted at any time of the year by downloading and completing our general donation form.
Where do the funds go? 100% of our income is used by SCI with at least 70% staying here locally (see below for a listing of projects undertaken by the Five Valleys Chapter in the last decade). When we apply for matching grants for our projects we keep even more! Over the years we have averaged 85% of our funds being used right here on projects we select.
