Set Up A Sailor Account

August 2009 -- We (Southport Sailing Foundation) are no longer accepting designated campaign accounts.

When you’re trying to raise money for a sailing campaign, it’s important to offer a way for potential contributors to claim their donations to your campaign as tax deductions. This will make them much more willing to help you.

One way to do this is by setting up a designated campaign account with a 501c3 Foundation. There is a listing of Sailing Foundations in the 'Money Matters' section. It is best to contact a foundation and ask them directly if they accept designated sailor accounts.

Some foundations charge a fee for this service by subtracting a small percentage of each donation (since maintaining your account has a cost).
