Ways to Donate Individually

1

Membership

Working to bring free and safe access to the river for swimming is a 24/7 job and + POOL friends that give recurring donations every month are a big part of that.  Set up a recurring donation of $5/more each month and become a “monthly lapper” with access to special benefits throughout the year. At the end of the year, we’ll give you a formal acknowledgement of your collective gifts for your tax purposes and a huge social media shout out.

Event Tickets

Buying a ticket is one of the simplest ways to support + POOL. Our events aren’t just celebrations — they directly fund the work that brings safe, accessible river swimming to New York City. From our signature Summer Pool Party and Fall Swim Gala to smaller partner-led gatherings, every ticket helps power community programs, public engagement, and the continued momentum of the project. Show up, celebrate, and be part of making + POOL possible.

Sponsor A Swimmer

Sponsoring a swimmer helps open the door to a lifelong skill. + POOL’s Bluefish program provides free swim lessons to youth ages 5–18 who might not otherwise have access to learn to swim. Your support gives kids the confidence, safety, and joy that come with being in the water—while reinforcing our broader mission to create clean, safe access to the river for all New Yorkers.

Corporate Sponsorship

Events

We love throwing parties! But more importantly, parties help us raise the support we need to continue to carry + POOL forward.  We host two major fundraising events each year, a Summer Pool Party  and a Fall Swim Gala, as well as other smaller, more intimate events with a variety of partners.  Event sponsorship is a win-win — providing + POOL the support it needs, while offering our partners valuable exposure.

East River Trash Club

Support direct environmental action on NYC’s waterfront. + POOL’s East River Trash Club leads regular clean-ups along the Brooklyn Bridge Esplanade, removing debris before it reaches the river and protecting water quality, wildlife, and public health. Corporate partners may also sponsor a dedicated river clean-up for their company or organization, offering a hands-on volunteer experience with measurable local impact.

STEM-related

Support the next generation of environmental stewards. + POOL’s STEM education classes bring hands-on, water-focused learning into schools, using the river as a living classroom to explore science, ecology, and climate resilience. Sponsorship helps us deliver engaging, age-appropriate programs that connect students to environmental systems, water quality, and the future of NYC’s waterfront.
