Annual Fund

Support the next generation of boat builders, restorers, and technicians. Your donation to the Annual Fund ensures that IYRS continues to preserve the craft and teach a time-honored trade.

Without your support, many of these passionate and often financially challenged students cannot fulfill their career goals.

Your Annual Fund Gift Will...

• Supply the essentials. From white oak and cedar, to advanced carbon fiber materials, tools and equipment, supplies and teaching aids, IYRS students need proper materials and state-of-the-art equipment to learn and succeed.
• Retain exceptional faculty. Our instructors are deeply experienced in both the theoretical and practical aspects of what they teach, and our programs mirror that same balance of theory and hands-on learning. IYRS students not only learn “how,” but they also understand “why”—and that ability to think critically and solve problems sets our students apart.
• Ensure a well-rounded student experience. Students need support and guidance in financial aid, housing, career counseling and job placement. To meet the needs of a growing student body, IYRS is investing in student services.
• Expand library and Museum resources. The library and the Museum of Yachting at IYRS provides much needed facilities and modern technology to augment both the student and visitor experience.
• Make an IYRS education affordable. Many of the best applicants would not be able to attend IYRS without substantial financial support. A growing student population means greater need for financial aid.
