The noted anthropologist Margaret Mead very famously said,

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."


Annual Fund Drive 2011-2012


Thanks to the generosity of our members and the islands community, SCCF was able to purchase the 28-acre Bailey Homestead this past June, preserving  a 28-acre Northern Sanibel Wildlife Corridor. SCCF’s Wildlife Habitat Management staff have begun restoring it to better function as habitat for our “wild” neighbors.

Let us honestly share that we’re feeling the pressure to keep all our programs and projects moving forward after the massive capital undertaking that was the Bailey land campaign. Augmenting grant monies with contributions remains a necessity for covering our operating expenses. That’s a tough thing to ask for on the heels of last year’s $5.3 million campaign.

After looking at the grant monies our staff has secured, and matching funds for those grants generously given by a small group of major donors, we are able to set the remaining FY 2011-2012 Annual Fund Drive goal at $650,000.  We count on this support — combined with grants and other income — to balance our budget. Can we count on your support again this year?
