Support youth scholarships & community access to Bellingham BAY!

We accept financial donations from sponsors, through planned giving or endowments, from our monthly CBC Navigator contributors, and from individuals whenever they’re moved to support a program or meet a need.

We also accept donations of vehicles, boats, and boating-related items. Please contact us if you have an item you’d like to contribute to the CBC.

Every gift helps provide youth and diversity programs to our community, and keeps the Bay accessible to all.

Your passion, use of the CBC, and enjoyment of Bellingham Bay are important to us. It’s rewarding to know that so many community members support our mission to provide maritime recreation and education opportunities on the Salish Sea.

Keep access to Bellingham Bay affordable and open to everyone!
