Grants

At the start of the pandemic, DSC and DSC Foundation recognized that critical anti-poaching operations in Africa were suddenly at grave risk due to the travel related shutdown of hunting seasons.

This loss of funding for anti-poaching operations across Africa was dire, and poaching skyrocketed.

To fight this battle, DSC and DSC Foundations launched Hunter’s Care in April 2020, which protected wildlife over 24 million acres.

Every year, DSC funds projects and initiatives in support of its mission of Conservation, Education and Advocacy.
