Overview
Mission
The Dewees Island Conservancy protects our barrier island wetlands and maritime forests, providing a way to help nature thrive
What it reported doing in 2024
The Organization funded 4 Wildlife Intern positions which studied wildlife (turtles and coyotes) habitats on Dewwes Island, Capers Island and Bull Island. An educational video and presentation to DEHC and contributors was given at the conclusion of each period. We also funded the planting of seaots to prevents erosion and destruction of wildlife habitats.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.

The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
