Support Us

Your generous support ensures we can teach our next generation of river stewards!

Our programs engage students with onboard, hands-on learning while under sail. Our floating classroom brings a new perspective to our mission – to protect the Piscataqua region’s maritime heritage and environment through education and action – as students of all ages experience our local rivers and bays onboard a historically significant gundalow. Our programs engage students in onboard, hands-on learning while under sail.

The Gundalow Company strives to make its award-winning programs accessible to all students regardless of their ability to pay. With over 2,800 students from 120+ school groups each year, we’re reaching more river stewards than ever, but our support needs are growing. The fee collected from schools covers less than 25% of our costs, and the remaining program costs must be covered through multiple sources such as individual donors like you. We count on your continued support to keep our programs accessible to students of all ages.

Volunteers are the wind in our sails.

Our outreach is successful thanks to enthusiastic volunteers who teach, interpret, and promote our mission. We provide each volunteer with training and support as well as host many social and educational events for volunteers throughout the year. Learn more about becoming a volunteer here.
