Ways to Give

The South Carolina Aquarium is a 501(c)-3 not-for-profit organization. We rely on the gifts of donors and members to help us continue to educate the public on conservation, care for sick and injured animals and to lead the community in conservation programs and efforts. No matter how you give, you can feel good about supporting the Aquarium’s conservation and education programs.

For more information about ways to give to the Aquarium or what your gifts support, contact the Institutional Advancement department at (843) 577-FISH (3474) or email Development@scaquarium.org

Planned Giving We are available to work with you and your financial advisors in planning your estate. Carefully planned gifts can offer significant estate tax and income benefits.

The Gift of Stock

An outright gift of appreciated securities or real estate provides an extra tax benefit. In addition to receiving an income tax deduction for the fair market value of the security, you also avoid capital gains tax. The Aquarium can refer you to an independent tax attorney who can further identify your individual gains with this type of gift.
Call us at (843) 579-8626 for more information.
