Financial Report
Pacific Whale Foundation is a 501(c)(3) IRS tax-exempt charitable organization dedicated to protecting our oceans through science and advocacy. We are governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. We also publish detailed financial information in our 990 Forms and in our reviewed annual reports.
Pacific Whale Foundation is funded through fundraising events, grants, corporate gifts, memberships, our Adopt A Marine Animal program, donations from supporters worldwide, and profits from our merchandise sales and our educational PacWhale Eco-Adventures ecotours.
We work hard to keep our administrative costs as low as possible. We are proud to say that we devote 78% of our income to program services. Only 13% of our income is spent on administration and 9% on fundraising.
