The Tidewater Oyster Gardeners Association greatly appreciates your donations. Residents of the Tidewater area benefit every day from the generous gifts that support our work. "How?" you ask?

 

Oysters filter the water in the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries, and TOGA works to put more oysters in the Bay. By donating to TOGA you are helping the local environment with something iconic to the area.

 

TOGA and our volunteers teach about and promote oyster gardening, as well as educate adults and youth all about oysters and their benefits, support research with our endowment at VIMS, and encourage recycling oyster shells. Donate today.

​

Note: When you donate the funds are used as TOGA's board specifies. You can also specify to give to one of two special causes:

1. TOGA's Student Fellowship Endowment to support VIMS graduate student research, in honor of Jackie Partin and Mike Oesterling who served TOGA so well.

2. TOGA's Camp Kekoka Youth Scholarship Fund to support families in need by giving local children the chance to attend camp for a week filled with fun, creativity, and discovery about the Chesapeake Bay.
