Thank you for your interest in viewing  our “donations” page.

We are a 501 (c)(3) organization and therefore, non-profit.  In order to operate our (2) pontoon boats, trailers, insurance , etc., we rely totally on financial donations and gifts which are tax-deductible and very much appreciated.

Thus far, we’ve had individuals give from $5 to $1,000 and companies/other organizations donate from $250 to as much as $20,000.  Please understand that to us no donation is too small and to continue to operate, we’ll need the on-going support of many individuals and businesses; whatever the amount! The specially designed-for-seniors pontoons (2) outboards and trailers are owned by our chapter and we are very grateful to those who helped make that possible.

Each operating season we need to generate approximately $20,000 per year for administrative and on-going expenses.  Keep in mind that all people involved in our local chapter are volunteers and do not receive any compensation. We have one paid staffer that works tirelessly on scheduling and communication with our clients, volunteers and sponsors.

If your employer or business would like to participate, please identify the company and person/persons we should contact along with their telephone number.  Also, inform us if you’d like to be mentioned as the referring individual. We definitely will contact them but it helps if the idea comes from you.

Not mentioned above is the opportunity to purchase a decal for either of our chapter’s pontoon boats. For a donation of $1,000 annually, we’ll place your logo via a decal visible to the public on every trip we make. For an additional $500 annually, we’ll place your logo on BOTH a of our pontoons!

Thanks Brainerd VFW!
