Monthly Giving
The Upwellers: Monthly donors rising to nourish life in the Salish Sea.
​
The Upwellers​
In the ocean, upwellers are deep currents that bring nutrient-rich waters to the surface—fueling entire marine ecosystems with life.
Our monthly donors are The Upwellers of The Salish Sea School. Just like those life-giving currents, your steady support brings our mission to the surface—powering everything from student exploration and beach cleanups to wildlife protection, conservation research, and the development of the next generation of ocean advocates.
Why Monthly Giving Matters:
-
It provides reliable funding that allows us to plan programs with confidence.
-
It supports long-term impact
-
It helps us say “yes” to more students, especially those who wouldn’t otherwise have access to the sea.
-
It fuels our ability to grow sustainably.​
​
Whether it’s $10 or $100 a month, your gift becomes part of a current that carries hope, learning, and action forward—every single day.
