It’s Sea Otter Awareness Week!

Southern sea otter pup Langly became an orphan when she was too young to survive on her own. Staff and volunteers cared for her at our hospital, preparing meals six times a day until she was old enough to be released back to her ocean home.

Virtually adopt Langly to help sea otter pups like her!

What is a donor-advised fund?

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a type of giving program that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to easily support your favorite charities. 

Make an irrevocable, tax-deductible donation to a public charity that sponsors a donor-advised fund program.

Advise the investment allocation of the donated assets (any investment growth is tax-free).

Recommend grants to qualified public charities of your choice, such as The Marine Mammal Center.

Donor-advised funds are a great way to plan your charitable giving and support The Marine Mammal Center. 

Please contact us at (415) 289-7338 or give@tmmc.org to learn more.
