Support IYRS and the Museum of Yachting

Each year, nearly 50% of IYRS and the Museum of Yachting's operating expenses are contributed by donors like you.  We actively seek support for education programs and museum operations as well as special gifts for student scholarships, exhibits, the capital campaign to restore the Aquidneck Mill, and other special projects.

Annual Fund

Generous contributions to the joint IYRS and Museum of Yachting Annual Fund Drive helps both organizations implement a new vision to expand educational programming, enhance exhibits, and preserve our yachting heritage.

Restoration Society

The Restoration Society is a leadership giving society supporting the school and museum's operations with a five-year commitment.  Restoration Society contributions provide a predictable source of annual funding.

Membership

Membership contributions provide essential funding for the school’s dynamic education and restoration programs and the museum's exhibits and collections each year.  Members receive free admission to the museum, a subscription to Restoration Quarterly, free admission to our lecture series, and a range of other benefits.
