Ways to Support SEWE This Year

SEWE is a nonprofit labor of love that is made possible through the support of our corporate partners, donors, grantmakers, loyal attendees and staff. Thanks to your generosity, SEWE continues to promote wildlife and nature conservation, fund educational programs and give artists the opportunity to showcase their talents on a national platform.

The effect of our work traditionally culminates every February in Charleston, South Carolina at our annual show. In a typical year, SEWE is the largest event of its kind in the U.S., and we promise attendees unforgettable experiences as we gather to share our collective love for wildlife and nature and recognize our role in protecting them for future generations.

We made earnest efforts to plan a safe and enjoyable experience this year for all of our loyal attendees, artists and exhibitors, but concluded that we cannot ensure the health of our guests without sacrificing the spirit of SEWE. As they say, the show must go on and now we turn our attention to promoting and supporting our partners through this difficult time.

If you feel inclined, please help champion our small nonprofit organization. Your contribution will help SEWE continue our legacy of celebrating wildlife and preserving the natural world for years to come. We thank you for your ongoing support and generosity.

We look forward to safely welcoming everyone back for SEWE 2022, February 17 – 20.
