Every Donation Matters
Small gifts. Big impact. Shared journeys.
Not everyone can fund an expedition—but everyone can be part of one.
At Audax Ventus, even modest contributions make a tangible difference. A $10 donation might power our livestream for classrooms. A $50 gift could provide gear for frontline storytelling. These are the quiet but essential parts of every mission—the tools, meals, data cards, and daily needs that keep the work going.
And when you give monthly, you become part of something larger.
Join the Patron Fellowship
Our Patron Fellowship celebrates these grassroots champions. For every $10 you contribute monthly, you earn one entry into a draw to join us aboard for a weeklong expedition.
- $25/month = 3 entries
- $50/month = 10 entries
- Your entries remain active every month you're a patron
Even if you never set sail, your gift supports:
- Community storytelling & Indigenous-led conservation
- Youth education & access to field science
- Renewable energy retrofits and sustainability at sea
- Open-access media and ecological documentation
Whether you’re a student, teacher, artist, explorer, or advocate—this is your invitation to sail with purpose.
Give monthly. Carry the wind.
Join the fellowship that keeps our mission alive, one donation at a time.
