Together, we sail further — and with purpose.
Small Gifts. Big Impact. Shared Journeys.
Not everyone can fund an expedition—
but everyone can be part of one.
At Audax Ventus, even the most modest contributions ripple outward.
A $10 donation might power a live classroom broadcast from the open sea.
A $50 gift could put essential gear in the hands of a frontline storyteller.
These are the quiet but essential parts of every mission—
the tools, meals, data cards, and day-to-day needs that keep the work alive.

For every $10 you give monthly, you earn one entry into our draw for a weeklong expedition aboard.
