Make a Donation
The historic building is showing its age.
We are planning a big renovation of the old boathouse, including building a new foundation for the gym and galley, renovating the galley and updating the infrastructure of the building. The costs are substantial and we are asking you to kindly contribute to the upkeep and renovation of this beloved and historic boathouse.
SUMMER 2023 UPDATE:
WE DID IT!
More than 720 members of the Dolphin Swimming and Boating Club community generously donated to our renovation project. During the summer of 2023 we reached the fundraising goal of $2.75 million.
The Dolphin Swimming and Boating Foundation extends a huge amount of gratitude to each member of the community who contributed to achieving this goal.
We also want to recognize our Fundraising Committee Co-Chairs, Anthony DuComb and Robin Rome. Without their extraordinary efforts this would not have been possible.
While fundraising goals specific to the renovation have been reached, the Foundation continues to accept donations furthering its mission to provide publicly-accessible classes and educational programming on swimming, rowing and boat building.

Donate Appreciated Securities
If you have unrealized gains in your taxable portfolio accounts, consider making charitable contributions of appreciated stock instead of cash. A gift of appreciated stock that has been held for more than one year generally can provide a double benefit by allowing the taxpayer to receive the charitable contribution deduction equal to the stock's fair market value on the date of contribution, and excluding from taxable income the gain on the stock appreciation which would normally be taxed at the capital gain rates of 15% or 20% depending on the tax bracket of the donor. Contact treasurer@dolphinfoundationsf.org for more information.
