Support scholarships &
community access to Bellingham Bay!
We accept financial donations from sponsors, through planned giving or endowments, from our monthly CBC Navigator contributors, and from individuals whenever they’re moved to support a program or meet a need. Every gift helps provide youth and diversity programs to our community, and keeps the Bay accessible to all.
We also accept donations of vehicles, boats, and boating-related items (see below).
Your passion, use of the CBC, and enjoyment of Bellingham Bay are important to us. It’s rewarding to know that so many community members support our mission to provide maritime recreation and education opportunities on the Salish Sea. Your tax-deductible donation is critical to our work.
The Community Boating Center is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization (EIN 20-4946594). As no goods or services are provided in return for your charitable donation, it is tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
