Donate and get an exclusive Ocean Pavilion tumbler as a thank you gift
Our $160 million One Ocean, One Future campaign is 88% complete and ends in December. We invite you to be part of this pivotal moment by making a gift to help us cross the finish line. Make a tax-deductible donation of $100 or more and receive a special thank you gift: a limited-edition, 24-ounce tumbler with a spotted eagle ray––just like those featured in our new Ocean Pavilion!
Or make a gift of $350 or more to receive the exclusive tumbler and join our Friends of the Aquarium donor circle which includes all Family Plus Membership benefits so you can have unlimited access to the Aquarium and the new Ocean Pavilion for an entire year.
We all have an awesome responsibility to protect and restore our marine environment—and it all starts with understanding, and caring about, the amazing diversity of sea life below the surface. At the Aquarium, visitors begin their journeys of ocean exploration every day.
Donate
Your support connects people to the ocean through experiences, habitats, programs and more—and inspires bold action to care for animals and protect our shared marine environment.
Your gift supports the work of the Seattle Aquarium as it expands with the Ocean Pavilion.
No matter the size, your gift to the Seattle Aquarium helps make our mission possible. Every day at the Aquarium, our community learns about Puget Sound and our one world ocean—and the challenges they face. Your support makes a real impact.
You can double or triple the impact of your donation by having your gift matched. Many companies match the contributions of their employees or retirees. For more information, contact philanthropy@seattleaquarium.org.
Considering making a gift of $350 or more? Join a donor circle! Check out our supporter communities, which offer special benefits and play a critical role in promoting our mission of Inspiring Conservation of Our Marine Environment.
The naturalist Sir David Attenborough said, ‘No one will protect what they don’t care about; and no one will care about what they have never experienced.’ Every day, volunteers and staff of the Seattle Aquarium help people, young and old, to see, touch, experience and learn about the diverse marine environment of Puget Sound and the ocean. We know this exposure makes Inspiring Conservation of Our Marine Environment possible. That’s why we support the Seattle Aquarium!
