Safari Club International-Political Action Committee ("SCI-PAC") is the political action committee of Safari Club International ("SCI") for purposes of contributing funds to election campaigns of candidates for federal office who promote sound wildlife conservation practices, scientific game management, and the protection of our hunting freedoms.
SCI-PAC has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to federal legislators who play a key role in the fight to protect hunting freedoms. Long recognized as among the most influential political action committees, SCI-PAC’s support of both Republicans and Democrats has multiplied the advocacy efforts of SCI members and SCI lobbyists.
"SCI is a tremendous advocate for sportsmen, wildlife conservation and hunters’ rights. Their work is essential to preserving our outdoor heritage."
- U.S. Congressman John D. Dingell, D-MI
"SCI is probably the most influential conservation group now in Washington, D.C."
- U.S. Congressman Don Young, R-AK
- Only SCI members and their immediate family are eligible to contribute to SCI-PAC.
- Federal law prohibits contributions from commercial businesses or non-U.S. citizens.
- The maximum combined political contributions to SCI-PAC and any other political action committee by any one individual is limited to $5,000 per calendar year.
- Contributions and gifts to SCI-PAC are not tax-deductible for income tax purposes.
- Federal law requires SCI-PAC to collect and report the name, mailing address, occupation, and name of employer of individuals whose contributions exceed $200 in a calendar year.
SCI-PAC carefully uses the voluntary contributions and gifts it receives from SCI members who are U.S. citizens. Its strategic political investments are vital to the elected officials who support sportsmen. These policymakers are integral to our fight to protect the hunting tradition.
