Donate

Since 1991, the Bay Area Association of Disabled Sailors has been a 501(c)3 tax-exempt charitable organization. Because we are an all-volunteer organization, every donation goes directly to provide sailing programs for people with disabilities every weekend year-round (weather permitting). 
 
BAADS relies on foundation grants and individual donations Boat donations are especially welcome as these are a major source of funding to our organization. If you are thinking about donating your boat, please send an email to the Boat Donations Committee.
 
If you would like to make a make an individual contribution, you can send a check to BAADS at: Pier 40, The Embarcadero #16, San Francisco, CA 94107. If you use PayPal, it’s also quick and easy to donate online using the PayPal buttons below or write in your own amount. If you want to make a donation in someone’s honor or direct your donation to a particular program or aspect, i.e., accessibility equipment, please specify in the check or PayPal memo. You could also send an email to treasurer@baads.org
 
In the Bay Area, many corporations also have their own foundations. Check with your employer to see if there is a matching program at your place of work which could double your donation. Also, many Bay Area foundations will provide individual grants to local organizations. If you know of any possible foundation grants, please reach out to our Commodore for assistance in applying for a grant.
 
All donations are greatly appreciated. If you have any questions or would like additional information, email our Commodore or leave a voicemail message at (415) 281-0212. Thank you for your support!
