Dear Clearwater Community,

It takes a village to raise a sail.

As a nonprofit and a working wooden sloop, we rely on the support of our community to keep the Clearwater sailing.  

Anyone can support the sloop, wherever you are and whatever your budget.
Take a look at our Ways to Give below to find what works best for you.

Donations are tax deductible, and a charitable donation tax receipt will be issued at the time of donation.

Important:
To ensure that your donation matches the sloop’s current needs, please contact the Captains at captains@clearwater.org before sending any items to the boat that do not appear on our Amazon Wish List.

Ways to Give

Bring In What You Already Have

We encourage re-gifting!

Do you have extra screwdrivers cluttering your workbench?
Or a garage full of stuff that you don’t use?
Maybe you were gifted a shiny new power drill and don’t know what to do with your old one?
Check out our list below to see if you have any of these items already lying around before you head to the store.

Some helpful used items you can bring in:

  • Rags/clothing to turn into rags
  • Dish Towels (clean, 100% cotton)
  • Work Gloves (cotton or durable leather)
  • Power or Hand Tools (in quality condition)
