Keep the Bay Thriving Year-Round

You’ve Restored the Bay. Now Help Sustain It.

For 25 years, dedicated volunteers like you have been at the heart of our mission. You’ve seen it firsthand: the Bay thrives with care. The native plants you’ve planted, the shorelines you’ve cleared of trash, and the habitats you’ve helped restore all rely on continuous stewardship to survive—and to flourish.

What if your impact didn’t stop there?

Volunteers are essential. But it’s sustained support that keeps this work going every day. By becoming a monthly donor, you extend your impact far beyond your time in the field. You help make restoration projects possible, fuel urgent advocacy efforts, and provide vital environmental education across the region.

What It Means
to Be a Bay Sustainer

In times of uncertainty, monthly gifts make all the difference. By becoming a Bay Sustainer, you’ll provide the steady, reliable support needed to restore wetlands, protect wildlife, and advocate for strong environmental policies. A monthly donation is a meaningful way to stand with Save The Bay and power the work we do together—month after month—to create a healthier, more resilient region for all.

Monthly gifts provide:

  • Stability for long-term restoration projects
  • Efficiency through reduced administrative costs
  • Flexibility to respond to urgent threats
  • Resources to protect wetlands and wildlife all year round

Even a small monthly gift goes a long way. Just $10 a month can restore over 130 square feet of wetland habitat in a year—the size of a parking space transformed into a thriving refuge for birds, butterflies, and other wildlife.
