What is #GivingTuesday all about?

Friends, if you’re reading this, we’re psyched.

You waded through dozens of #GivingTuesday emails and blogs from countless worthy nonprofits and chose to read this one. But why should you go the extra nautical mile and support Heal the Bay?

Because we don’t want your money.

In lieu of cash donations, we’re asking you to honor #GivingTuesday by gifting us with the much-needed supplies we need to do our work: Microscopes, clipboards, giant vats of sunscreen. And with our MyRegistry wish list, it’s super easy to help Heal the Bay in a direct, powerful way—in a way that dollars can’t.

Give and the sea shall receive.

Your #GivingTuesday contribution—whether it’s a truckload of latex gloves or a monthly gift of $10—goes directly to the programs that clean up our watersheds and beaches, immerse our children in marine science and advocate for innovative, sustainable water management policy. We’re particularly excited about our MyRegistry wish list because it helps us get to work right away—instead of shopping for supplies.
