The Seattle Aquarium is grateful to Microsoft for supporting our mission of Inspiring Conservation of Our Marine Environment.
Join us!
Your gift supports the work of the Seattle Aquarium as it expands with the Ocean Pavilion—and inspires bold action to care for animals and protect our shared marine environment.
Employee matching
Invest in the future of ocean conservation! Join our community of supporters by donating $350 or more and play a vital role in fulfilling our mission of Inspiring Conservation of Our Marine Environment.
Microsoft’s employee matching program makes it easier to stretch your donation and reach the $350 mark.
Microsoft generously matches your personal contributions to eligible nonprofits like the Seattle Aquarium, providing up to $15,000 per employee per year in support.
Simply request the match through Benevity, where you can donate via credit card or upload a receipt from the Aquarium.
Here’s how you can take advantage of Microsoft’s matching gift program to get access: Donate $175 and submit the match for the remaining $175. Once received, you’re eligible for donor benefits at the $350 level.
