DONATE CASH -
Help Build the YACHTING ENDOWMENT
The IISOH needs $1 million (one million Dollars) to establish a permanent endowment to support the YACHTING COLLECTION. Your financial support can help to build this endowment. A single benefactor, with a donation of one million Dollars, can have the naming rights to the YACHTING ENDOWMENT. This is a naming opportunity for a serious sailor to have a perpetual identification with the sport of YACHTING & SAILING. The endowment would be named by the benefactor with the approval of the IISOH Board of Directors. The endowment is established as a permanent trust fund that is invested by the IISOH in interest-bearing securities. Only the quarterly earned interest can be used for development of the YACHTING & SAILING collections in both the Library and Museum.
Cash donations IN ANY AMOUNT are always welcome, and anything over $25.00 receives a lifetime acknowledgement on our website.
