Ways to Give

Donate to our animal care fund to make sure that we’ve got enough resources for rescues still to come!

Your contribution will help us continue conserving the world’s aquatic resources through direct action, research, and education throughout the world.

Your contribution will keep Winter’s legacy alive at Clearwater Marine Aquarium. Help us continue to rescue, rehab and release, and, save more lives.

As a way to honor David Kinne’s legacy and highlight his passion for education, Clearwater Marine Aquarium is proud to create the David Kinne Scholarship. Funds will allow underprivileged children to attend the summer camps at Clearwater Marine Aquarium free of charge, so that they too may fall in love with the ocean and with our mission.

CMA has created the Brian Mahardy Fund, this restricted fund will support the CMA dive team. Brian Mahardy was a huge supporter of CMA and worked with all departments. He was a valued member of the CMA family who will be missed by all who knew him.

If you’ve got appreciated stock, giving it directly to Clearwater Marine Aquarium lets you avoid paying the capital gains tax that would have been due had you sold the stock in the normal manner.

Donate to CMA by listing us in your will, an annuity, a charitable remainder trust, or a life insurance policy.

A commemorative paver is an ideal way to leave a permanent mark for you, your family or in memory of a loved one.
