Make an In-Kind Impact

Support L3 with Tax-Deductable In-Kind Contributions

At Cultivating Currents, non-cash gifts—including equipment, space, pro bono services—are powerful contributions that help keep our “Living Loop Lab” adventure afloat. Your generosity provides everything from field tools to media support and teen scholarships, making us more resilient and mission-driven.

We’re currently finalizing our 501(c)(3) nonprofit status — in the meantime, tax-deductible donations can be made through our fiscal sponsor, Miles4TheMinds, a registered nonprofit supporting youth mental health and science outreach. All contributions will be processed through Miles4TheMinds and designated for Cultivating Currents and the Living Loop Lab initiative.

We’re seeking a powerboat built for the loop journey of 6,000+ miles and for science workshops and youth-led data collection. The ideal vessel is a utility/trawler style monohaul, catamaran, or traimaran. I needs be able to navigate the loop with a small crew but have deck space to accomodate science events at our stops and layovers. Here are the preferred specs.
