We got a new boat
$24,957.82 was raised!
After many faithful years of service, Andros Rose, lovingly referred to as "Rosie" was retired from our small fleet of boats used to take out groups. Thanks to the extremely generous donations from our alumni and supporters, we were able to purchase a new boat this past summer. Fittingly named “Reef Runner”, he is the perfect boat to join the ranks at Forfar!
If you have ever been to Forfar, you know the boats (and vehicles) start to feel like extended family! They are vital to our operations and allow us to continue our mission of providing environmental education, scientific research, and cultural awareness through experiential learning.

Why Donate to IFS?
IFS Values Transparency
We believe it is important when considering donating to an organization, you feel confident your donation is being used wisely and to promote the most good. To that end, we at IFS want to be transparent so you can see how our funds are spent to provide quality field study experiences to all those who participate in IFS programs. Our Annual Reports gives you more details about our programs and what we do with our funds. We are very proud of the strong financial base we have created over the last 7 years that has allowed us to weather Hurricane Matthew in 2016, do extensive remodeling in 2019, and survive through the global pandemic in 2020-2022 until currently.
