How to Support Ship 6

Funding is a constant challenge. Thank you for supporting our Ship!

We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization through our chartering organization and donations are usually tax-deductible. Ship 6 is volunteer run and youth-led.

Financial Support

Checks may be made out to "Sea Explorer Ship 6". Please see the contact us page for mailing information.

Some employers match donations, so please check with yours to see how to increase the impact of your support. And many companies offer year-end and other Employee Giving programs through 3rd party administrators. Examples are the United Way at Work program, Benevity, Pfizer, etc. Contact your company's benefits or philanthropy administrator for more information.

Gift in Kind Donations

We accept many new and "good condition" boating products also known as gift-in-kind donations. We may choose to use the item or sell it to help fund the program.

Boat Donations

Depending on the size and condition of the boat we may be able to accept a boat on donation. If we are not able to use the boat as part of our activities we may use it to help fund our program. If you are interested in donating your boat please contact us for more information.
