The Maritime Museum of BC Launches the
“Float the Boat” Fundraising Campaign  
   
The Maritime Museum of
BC is running a fundraising campaign called “Float the Boat”. This campaign has
a goal of $25,000 and will run from January 15, 2021 to March 31, 2021.
Throughout the campaign the museum will be marking milestones by filling the
tank below with water to float the boat higher and higher. We’ll be posting
updates so make sure to follow along! 
     
    
 
     
 
      
 
   

  
As a registered charity
and incorporated non-profit the Maritime Museum of BC runs a variety of public
programming and engagement initiatives, all with the goal of promoting and
preserving BC’s maritime heritage and culture. In order to keep the programming
and exhibit rates accessible to the public they rely on the help of grants and
private donations. 

 
“2020 was a difficult
year, without a doubt,” said Brittany Vis, Associate Director of the Maritime
Museum of BC. “While we’re all very excited to turn a new leaf and welcome
2021, we know this year will bring its own challenges. Emergency
government funding will end this year and we are still a way off from resuming
normal operations and re-opening our traditional revenue streams. Individual
support is needed now more than ever to keep the museum running.” 

 
The Maritime Museum of
BC is a multi-disciplinary organization. It cares for a collection, provides
exhibits, and helps educate/entertain the public through a variety of
programming. In response to the pandemic the museum launched a range of digital
programming for all ages, which can be accessed through their website. These
areas have been broken into different categories to demonstrate some of the
ongoing costs associated with each one. The museum is asking people to consider
donating to one of these areas by selecting them in the drop-down menu on the
donation page (visible after entering an amount to donate). If someone wants to
contribute to the museum in general, they can simply select the “General”
category and enter the amount of their choice.
