About Us
The DSC Big Sky Chapter is dedicated to conservation, wildlife and our hunting heritage. We are firmly committed to ensuring wildlife conservation is maintained for future generations.
Our Mission
The mission of Big Sky DSC is to conserve wildlife in
Montana, and abroad, & promote youth hunting
movements through public engagement, education, and
advocacy, ensuring future generations will continue to enjoy our way of life.
Our Vision
The vision of Big Sky DSC is a collective that values
wildlife, engages in conservation efforts and understands
the need for well-regulated hunting in the sustainable use
of wild resources.
“In a civilized and cultivated country wild animals only continue to exist at all when preserved by sportsmen. the excellent people who protest against all hunting, and consider sportsmen as enemies of wild life, are ignorant of the fact that in reality the genuine sportsman is by all odds the most important factor in keeping the larger and more valuable wild creatures from total extermination.”
President Theodore Roosevelt – 1905
The DSC Chapter system is committed to conservation and our hunting heritage. Specifically, DSC Chapters raise funds to benefit critical local, national, and international initiatives in alignment with the DSC mission of Conservation, Education and Advocacy.
DSC Chapter system is unique in many ways.
Chapters keep 75% of the net revenues raised from their largest annual fundraising event, to be used in alignment with the DSC mission of Conservation, Education and Advocacy.
The Chapter directs an additional 20% of the net from their largest annual fundraising event to DSC Foundation to support strategic Conservation, Education and Advocacy projects identified by DSC and DSC Foundation.
Chapters know exactly where their money is going.
Outside of the annual primary fundraising, Chapters retain 100%of all other net revenues raised throughout the year.
DSC Chapters operate as stand-alone 501(c)(3) and/or 501(c)(4)non-profit Organizations.
DSC is committed to Chapter success across all levels of the organization
