    Give with confidence.

    100% of public donations received go directly to our initiatives.

    Before Take MAR was founded, we reached out to a small group of generous private donors to fund all of our operating expenses.

    Now, you can give with confidence knowing that your donation is directly impacting you and nature.

    We know that our mission is what connects amazing donors to Take MAR, which is why our operations expenses are fully covered.

    Operations expenses are crucial for Take MAR (and all other nonprofits!) because they allow us to create fun, challenging, and dynamic job opportunities, have the right tools and software needed, and help us stay organized and focused so that we can take ACTION.
