Our chapter owes its very existence to our supporters and contributing members. YOU ARE SURFRIDER, and when we say, OUR WAVE IS YOUR WAVE! we literally mean it!
We want to say a heartfelt “Thanks” to all of you who have contributed to our environmental work throughout the years of our existence. As a grass-roots, non-profit organization, we believe that strong ties to the community and the financial contributions of our members and supporters gives us added credibility and visibility in our ongoing work.
You, our members and supporters, should know that, although we are a chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, our National Office does not financially support any of its chapters. Consequently, we are obligated to raise the funds to keep all our environmental programs running. Therefore, the Santa Cruz Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation will gratefully accept any financial contribution or donation that doesn’t compromise our dedication to our mission. Such contributions are fully tax-deducible.
Should you wish to help us through paycheck donations at your workplace, you may choose to allocate a small portion of your paycheck through: EARTHSHARE, UNITED WAY, or the MICROSOFT
GIVING PROGRAM.
The Santa Cruz Chapter also has additional projects for which we seek financial support. Please select a link for more information.
Memorial Donations: To donate on-line go to Surfrider.org” and specify the memorial fund in the second box. The family will be updated routinely of donations and you will receive a Thank You note. You can also send along a check to the Chapter directly, specifying the fund, and we’ll pass along the information for you.
