Our foundation allows other nonprofit groups to utilize the benefit of gifts made to us. By concentrating our efforts in the Pacific Northwest, and by continuing to broaden our network of generous individuals like you, we provide meaningful financial assistance to regional non-profit organizations.

While the Pacific Marine Foundation receives many generous donations from individuals, we can also receive specific grants and in-kind donations of equipment and gear, potentially satisfying distribution requirements for other donor foundations as well.

While cash donations are greatly appreciated, the Pacific Marine Foundation can also accept gifts of publicly traded securities. A donor can deduct the fair market value of the security as of the date of donation. There are some limitations to securities donations, so we always recommend consulting a professional tax advisor.
