Friends of the Collections


A Little Help from Our Friends
For an annual contribution of $1,000 or more, you can become a Friend of the Collections and help sustain the invaluable Scripps Oceanographic Collections for future generations of scientists and your support is urgently needed. The cost to sustain the collections is $400,000 per year compared to the $1 billion it would cost to attempt to replace them.

Friends of the Collections receive periodic updates about the collections, opportunities for collections tours, and an invitation to an annual reception.
