How to contribute
The Hawai‘i Marine Mammal Consortium (HMMC) is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization so your donations are tax-deductible. We are based on the Big Island of Hawai'i. If you would like to contribute equipment, vehicles, or provide financial assistance, please contact us.
A list of equipment that we need can be found here.
Other ways to Support HMMC
Please Recycle! Here’s how you can contribute to the environment by both recycling and supporting the research, education and conservation efforts of the Hawai‘i Marine Mammal Consortium. Take your HI-5 containers to any of The Arc of Hilo operated Redemption Centers (at community transfer stations) and tell them you want to donate to HMMC. Your donation will be processed and 5 cents per container will be donated to the HMMC. The Arc of Hilo will issue a check to HMMC each month. If you drop off your containers when they are closed, simply attach a note that states you want to donate your containers to HMMC.
