Who
We Are
The Ossabaw Island
Foundation is responsible for public use
and education initiatives on Ossabaw
Island. We are a public, 501(c)3
charitable corporation governed by a
volunteer board of trustees. We operate
through a use agreement with the State of
Georgia, administered through the
Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
Last year, the foundation hosted over 1500
visitors to the island. People must apply
to visit, and preference is given to
organized groups whose purpose is
consistent with the island's intended
use. Past groups have included a writers
workshop, a 4th grade elementary school
class, undergraduate and graduate level
researchers in all disciplines, an
at-risk youth camp, preservation and
environmental organizations and the like.
Rather than focusing on quantity, the
foundation seeks to increase the quality
of the Ossabaw experience without
compromising the island's resources or
delicate ecosystem. We welcome your help.
