Other Ways To Support Manatee Protection

Bequests
Your bequest to SMC will help to ensure that future generations have the opportunity to experience the wonder of seeing a manatee in the wild.   If you are drafting a will or revising an existing document, all you need to do is include SMC in your estate planning.  Consult your attorney for specific advice.  Our legal name is Save the Manatee Club, Inc. and we are a Florida not-for-profit 501 (c) (3) organization.


Matching Funds
Does your employer sponsor a matching gift program for which SMC may qualify?  If so, you could double your support to SMC with a matching gift.  Contact your employee and ask if this giving opportunity is available.

"Manatee Crossroads," Limited Edition Bronze Sculpture
This mother and calf sculpture by noted artist Simon Morris capture the beauty and slow moving grace of these gentle creatures. Simon's limited edition bronze sculptures are displayed in private and corporate collections throughout the world. His nine-foot-tall "Emerald Princess" mermaid sculpture in British Columbia has become a world famous icon and attracts divers from around the globe, and his work has been chosen for many awards. "Ocean Futures," unveiled by Jacques-Yves Cousteau in New Orleans, was auctioned to raise funds for the Cousteau Society. Simon's art has also been represented by P.A.D.I.'s Project A.W.A.R.E. Foundation to raise funds for deserving environmental concerns.

Simon is generously donating 15% from the sale of each Manatee Crossroads sculpture to Save the Manatee Club for manatee protection efforts. Click on the Amazon link at left to purchase the sculpture.
