Corporate Sponsorships
You play a crucial role in supporting Friends of Oatland's mission to enhance the success of Oatland Island Wildlife Center's animal care programs and local education initiatives through your donations.
Oatland Island Wildlife Center is a premier family destination in the Low Country. Sponsorships allow companies to enhance their visibility and demonstrate their philanthropic and environmental commitments to target audiences in the local region.
Corporate partners allow Friends of Oatland and Oatland Island Wildlife Center to maintain unparalleled standards in animal care, visitor experience, and educational programming, through the opportunity to sponsor exhibits and annual on-site events such as the Fairy & Gnome Festival, Halloween Hike and Adult Lecture Series.
