3. Offering Education and Information

SCP co-sponsors and promotes seminars, conferences, forums, and other opportunities for education and information exchange about best practices and innovations that advance our mission and goals.

4. Providing Project Fiscal Sponsorship

SCP sponsors projects that advance land conservation, environmental protection, and education in the South. Our project fiscal sponsorship program provides creative individuals and start-up community groups the necessary administrative, legal, and financial support while project leaders move forward to implement the primary goals of their project. Contributed project funding derived from donors or grant sources is conveyed through SCP (as a qualified, tax-exempt, charitable corporation) through agreement with the project leaders. SCP serves as the initial incubator and umbrella support center for beginning or short-term environmental conservation projects across the region.
See Project Fiscal Sponsorship for more information.
