These donations are tax deductible subject to certain rules. See how you can make a contribution to the School through boat donations.

• Corporate matching gifts

  Make your gift mean twice as much. Corporations will often match gifts made by employees, officers, directors, and in some cases spouses and/or retired employees, officers, or directors. Many companies have adopted corporate matching gift plans to help support nonprofit organizations. Consult your company’s personnel or community relations department for guidelines.
