IMMS is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization and all donations to IMMS are tax-deductible.

All of our conservation, research, and rehabilitation efforts here at IMMS require significant resources.  Your generous donations will greatly help with the endless needs that arise in tending to sick and injured marine animals and in conducting research.  Some of the most prominent areas in which your gifts will be used include:  

• Veterinary care and husbandry- biomedical supplies and equipment, medical testing such as blood analysis, microbiology, lab procedures (x-rays, ultrasound, surgery, etc.), fish food, and medicines
• Field work - boat and airplane time and transport equipment
• Labor expenses associated with all aspects of care for stranded animals. 
• Construction and supplies for a new facility for research, rescue, and rehabilitation of stranded marine animals.

 The listed items are just some of the ways in which your contributions will assist us in our quest to help these special animals in need of attention. 

Thank you so much for your kindness and desire to get involved!
