Double your impact for veterans on the water. This season, your generosity goes twice as far.
A committed supporter of VetsBoats has offered a $50,000 matching gift challenge. For every dollar you give—up to a total of $50,000—your gift will be matched dollar for dollar, unlocking the full $100,000 needed to expand our sailing-based wellness programs for military veterans.
Your support during this challenge will help us:
Fund additional sailing sessions and wellness days for veterans and their families.
Maintain and equip our fleet so we can safely welcome more participants onboard.
Train and support volunteer skippers and crew who make each experience meaningful.
Here’s how it works:
Every donation to this campaign counts toward the $50,000 goal.
Once we reach $50,000 from donors, our matching donor will contribute an additional $50,000.
Together, we will invest $100,000 directly into veteran wellness on the water.
Whether you give $25, $250, or $2,500, your impact is immediately doubled. Join the Matching Gift Challenge today and help us bring more veterans aboard—body, mind, and spirit.
Thank you for standing with those who have served and for powering VetsBoats’ mission.
As part of our $50,000 Matching Gift Challenge, we’d be honored to share the experience you’re making possible.
We’d like to invite you to be our guest for a day of sailing on San Francisco Bay aboard the Baylis, departing from Richmond, alongside the veterans we serve and the staff and volunteers who make these programs happen. You’ll have the chance to meet participants, hear their stories, and see firsthand how time on the water builds camaraderie, confidence, and healing.
We’ll work with you to choose a date that fits your schedule and design the day so you can simply come aboard, relax, and enjoy the Bay with the community you’re helping to support.
