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.

These lists are not comprehensive and are limited only by your imagination!
Keep in mind that YACHTING & SAILING is an international sport and that we seek everything, in every language,
in order to develop the most comprehensive collection in the world.
SAILING is one of man's oldest activities but the actual sport dates from the 19th century.

For additional subject areas that we seek, see the list in the SUBJECTS area for endowments.
