Support The WaterFront Center

The WaterFront Center’s mission is to connect people to the water through education and recreation.

Your contribution supports the continued operation of our programs, vessels, and community access to Oyster Bay Harbor — including IDA MAY and CHRISTEEN.

As a small nonprofit, flexible funding allows us to maintain safety, preserve our historic vessels, and expand educational opportunities where they are needed most.

Why Your Support Matters

Maintaining working wooden vessels and delivering meaningful on-the-water programs requires:

• Ongoing vessel maintenance and preservation

• Safety compliance and regulatory standards

• Professional crew and instructional staff

• Educational access for schools and community groups

• Operational support throughout the season

Your gift ensures that these experiences remain accessible to the community.

Vessel-Specific Support

While contributions to our General Fund have the greatest overall impact, donors who wish to direct a larger gift toward a specific vessel may indicate that preference when making their donation.

Designations may include:

• IDA MAY

• CHRISTEEN

Designated gifts will be used as directed whenever possible. If a specified need has been met, funds will be applied to the area of greatest need within our mission.
