Community Engagement: Strengthen your connection to local families and schools.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR): Align your brand with ocean conservation, education, and maritime history initiatives.
Marketing Opportunities:
-
- Featured in our monthly email newsletter sent to 6,000 subscribers.
- Promotion across Call of the Sea’s social media channels (5,000+ followers).
- On-site exposure during community sails.
- Premiere media opportunities.
What you support: Your sponsorship enables Call of the Sea to continue reaching more underserved youth with its unique STEAM and marine science programming while under sail. Last year, 54% of the schools who sailed with Call of the Sea did so through scholarship. 77% of the students who sail with Call of the Sea on scholarship are non-white, and 1 in 4 have learning or physical difficulties.
These efforts subsidize Call of the Sea’s programming so that we can increase the number of scholarships and school sails we offer, enabling a more diverse set of students to access and build a connection with the ocean. They also support our ongoing vessel sustainability needs so that we may preserve the brigantine Matthew Turner and schooner Seaward for generations to come.
