Some other ways:
Our Amazon Wish List
You can buy supplies from Amazon and ship directly to us. To deduct your donation on your taxes, our tax ID is 23-7272425.
In-kind donations
We often accept donated services and materials to keep the ships running. Please contact us and let us know what you plan beforehand.
Ask your employer
Does your employer know how much time you donate to Gazela or Jupiter? Many companies will reward your volunteer efforts by making a charitable donation to your chosen organization or by matching your own donation. Ask your employer if they have a charitable giving program that you can participate in.
Gazela Primeiro Preservation Fund
The Ship Guild is grateful to Mary Smith for establishing this fund in the memory of her late husband, William Wikoff Smith. This endowment supports the future maintenance of the tall ship Gazela. The Guild would appreciate additional gifts to increase the value of this endowment or to start a new endowment supporting the tugboat Jupiter.
Tax-wise donation
