Ways to Contribute
Donate Items
There are Many Ways You Can Contribute by Donating Your Car, Boat, Cell Phone, or Other Item
Donate Your Car or Boat
Do You Have an Old Car or Boat that You Don’t Know What to do With?
By donating your vehicle to the Aquarium, not only are you making a tax deductible donation that supports the Aquarium, you are helping to advance the Aquarium’s conservation mission, by recycling your vehicle!
We have partnered with the National Charity Support Foundation, to ensure that donating is easy as possible on you. NCF will take care of picking up the vehicle, make any necessary repairs and put the vehicle up for auction! You can make donation arrangements on-line at www.nationalcharity.com or by calling (800) HELP-130.
Donate Your Old Cell Phone
You Can Turn Your Cell Phone into Donation Dollars
On average, Americans replace their cell phones every eighteen months. This affects the Pacific Ocean and all water, as the cadmium from one cell phone battery is capable of polluting over 158,000 gallons of water.
By dropping your cell phone off at the vault outside our main entrance or at our Information Desk you can turn your cell phone into donation dollars for the Aquarium! By partnering with Eco-Cell we have ensured that even non-working phones will be properly recycled. If you have any questions, or if you are interested in becoming a Cell Phone Collection site on behalf of the Aquarium, please call (562) 951-1662.
