Fundraising opportunity for environmental nonprofits in RI

[Melanie Fernandes]

Hello!

Blackstone Valley Tourism Council runs a riverboat (the E/V Explorer) on the Blackstone River leaving from Central Falls Landing. Each Sunday we run nature and heritage tours - we are offering environmental/education nonprofits that serve their community our Sunday 4 PM tour slot as an opportunity to raise money. 

The Explorer holds 35 adults - organizations can sell the seats for whatever amount the would like. We only ask a small fee to cover the cost of running the vessel (boat Captain, crew, education staff, fuel costs). All other money belongs to you.

As mentioned, we will provide the boat (USCG inspected and licensed), boat captain (licensed), crew and an educator that will narrate a nature and heritage tour. Your organization is free to offer anything else as part of the tour (suggestion: BYO picnic either on the dock or boat).

Dates available are nearly any Sunday from Mother's Day through October 11 (dates not available: July 19 and September 6).

If you are interested in this opportunity, please contact me: mfernan...@gmail.com.
