Donations Do you have a kayak, paddle, life jacket, or other kayak equipment that you don't need or use? If we can use it in our public programs, you can donate it to us, and take a tax deduction. Ask us for details. The boathouse is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation. We have no paid staff, and almost all donations go right back into our free kayaking programs. If you would like to make a cash contribution please use the button below to make a donation. Thanks!
