Blue Ocean Sails and You

[malyea]

Here's one of the ways we're using Sea Breeze, our '87 I43 to actively support marine science education and research. We're beginning the process to formally organize Blue Ocean Sails as a 501c3 and are casting about for others interested in participating. Check out the video, see what we're doing, get involved.

Currently working to build a far reaching network of skippers/owners interested in hosting marine science students, educators, citizen and research scientists onboard. Cheers!

I'd be interested in a form of partnership or co-endorsement. Please take a look at American Seafarers – American Seafarers Summer Vacation and see if you think we might have a compatible vision.


thanks,
Scot

Scot, your program looks great; there surely must be some value in our organizations affiliating.

Curiosity from one who's not familiar with what looks like US tax jargon, what's a 501c3?

[malyea]

501c3 is the IRS tax code governing non profit organizations.

"The most common type of US tax-exempt nonprofit organization falls under category 501(c)(3), whereby a nonprofit organization is exempt from federal income tax if its activities have the following purposes: charitable, religious, educational, scientific, literary, testing for public safety, fostering amateur sports ..." - Wikipedia

Thanks. I guessed something like that but was too lazy to look it up.

I can relate ;-)
