Ways to Give

As a nonprofit organization, the Oregon Coast Aquarium relies on tax-deductible contributions, admission fees, membership dues, grants and café or gift shop sales to meet our operating expenses. Capital campaign improvement projects are only made possible with a grant from the State, and many contributions from individuals, businesses and foundations. There are many ways you can support the Aquarium’s Capital Campaign goal.
