Come aboard. Be part of something bigger than the journey.

For those who want to do more than donate—they want to participate.

The Patron Fellowship is our way of inviting passionate supporters not just to fund our mission, but to become part of it. Through a monthly gift, you help sustain the heart of Audax Ventus: ethical exploration, frontline storytelling, Indigenous collaboration, and environmental justice.

In return, you’re entered for a chance to experience the mission firsthand—aboard our sailing research vessel.

For every $10 you contribute monthly, you’ll receive one entry into our Patron Fellowship draws—a chance to join us for a weeklong expedition at sea.
Prefer to deepen your impact?

• $25/month = 3 entries
   
• $50/month = 10 entries
   

Your entries stay active for every month you remain a patron. There's no limit—the more you give, the greater your chances of sailing with us.

Whether or not you're selected, your support directly funds:

• Indigenous- and community-led conservation partnerships
   
• Youth mentorship and immersive education programs
   
• Sustainable energy and low-impact expedition technology
   
• Open-access storytelling, filmmaking, and archival efforts
   
• Emergency ecological monitoring in remote and vulnerable regions
   

The Patron Fellowship isn’t just a prize. It’s a celebration of those who help keep our mission moving forward—one donation, one supporter, one shared horizon at a time.

This program is for those who believe in the quiet power of purpose-driven travel. For the artists, students, adventurers, environmentalists, and storytellers who understand that meaningful change often begins far from the spotlight—and who want to be part of that change.

No sailing experience is needed. Just curiosity, commitment, and a willingness to support something that matters.

As a Patron Fellow, you’ll receive:

• A private or shared berth aboard our research vessel
   
• All onboard meals, accommodations, and field gear
   
• Active participation in research, exploration, and storytelling programs
   
• A collaborative, mission-driven environment of explorers, educators, and advocates
   

Travel to and from the vessel is not included. A welcome kit and packing guide will be provided to help you prepare for your journey.

Your monthly support keeps our sails full—and just might carry you along with them.
