Did you know your gift to Ocean Discovery Institute could be doubled, or even tripled, at no extra cost to you?
Many employers match charitable contributions made by their employees, and some even extend matching gifts to retirees. That means a single act of generosity from you can unlock even more opportunity for students growing up with science in City Heights.
When you give to Ocean Discovery Institute, whether directly or through your workplace giving program, your employer may contribute an equal or greater amount. Together, your gift and your company’s match help create hands-on science experiences, long-term mentorship, and pathways from kindergarten to career for thousands of young people in our community.
Why It Matters
Matching gifts help ensure that every student in our community, not just a few, can grow up with science. They strengthen a model built on belonging, consistency, and time, and they allow us to keep showing up for students year after year, tuition-free.
Thank you for believing in our students—and for taking one simple step to make your support go even further.
