Help the New Era Galapagos Foundation
In order to continue our work with the people of San Cristobal, Galapagos, the
New Era Galapagos Foundation depends almost entirely on contributions of time,
money, equipment, and materials from individuals and institutions alike. Because
we are a relatively small and young organization, all contributions, no matter
how small, directly affect our ability to provide educational programs and ensure
a more sustainable economic and ecological future for the Galapagos Islands
and its people.
As San Cristobal Island is home to the largest population of registered fisherman
in the Galapagos, your donation will enable significant numbers of local fishermen,
and their children, to acquire the requisite skills, awareness, and confidence
for employment in non-resource extractive industries.
By supporting an independent organization with beneficiaries in each of the
three primary stakeholder groups in Galapagos (tourism, fishing, and conservation),
you will help prepare the future leaders of Galapagos, strengthen civil society,
and bridge the rift of communication and interaction from opposing and often
conflicting groups.
NEGFs philosophy of local empowerment complements existing conservation
strategies of the Galapagos National Park and Charles Darwin Research Station,
which primarily focus on research, science, natural resource management, monitoring
of illegal fishing, and law enforcement.
The New Era Galapagos Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation
under the International Revenue Service. All donations are tax deductable to
the extent of the law.
