Give to the Sea

Vermilion Sea Institute has seen unmeasured growth this year thanks to donations like yours!  We have hired new staff, added new database systems and are building new organizational partnerships. We are working hard to create new programs and have expanded our Aventureros programs for local children, which includes science lessons, snorkeling, boat rides, whale shark experiences and more!

And for those of you wondering, we are eligible to receive grants from donor advised funds.

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for continuing to support the growth of Vermilion Sea Institute so we can nurture the relationships between people and desert and sea ecosystems! It would not be possible without you!

Donor Advised Funds (DAF)

Many people will opt to add funds to a DAF for a tax write-off every year. Sometimes, these funds can sit for years because of the somewhat convoluted method of accessing those funds. We partnered with Chariot, a secure DAF payment Platform, to accept these funds! Click the yellow button below to use your funds!

Scholarship Fund

Equitable access to nature is a core value of VSI. We never want money to be the barrier to making a trip, so we have created a scholarship fund to bring the Baja experience to people who would otherwise be unable to visit.
