Great news everyone: The paperwork process is over, we have been recognized by the IRS as a 501(C)(3). This gives us a lot of benefits such as being able to apply for grants and accept donations. We are excited that we have made it this far, however we have only just begun. Now it is on to changing the world and making a difference for our Oceans!

And if you would like to make a tax deductible donation to the Callie Mae Sea Foundation, please check out our Donation Page. You can donate via direct deposit(check), Credit Card, or Paypal. We partnered with a service called give lively that takes care of all of the paperwork and finances for donations for free! The only cost is for the transaction fees which are very minimal and are automatically taken out of the donation.
Thank you to everyone who has helped us get this far. We cannot wait to tackle the next set of challenges.
