Join the
Trio Giving Circle
You can become a member of the Trio Giving Circle with a three-year pledge of $2,500 or more. This will give you the opportunity to actively support the Tara scholarship program, the Nomad Playhouse, or an unrestricted fund to support operations. The virtue of this approach is that being able to count on a specific amount of funding for three successive years allows us to devote time to other avenues of support, pursuing grants and expanding our donor base by developing relationships with new prospective donors. Tara’s need for this type of continuous and committed support is more critical than ever now, as we focus on a path to sustainability.

“I am so lucky to have had an education full of opportunities to get the concept not just by being told 'how,' but by experiencing 'why' through hands-on learning and travel. The trip to the marine biology field station in Sonora, Mexico is a perfect example. After three weeks of studying zoology in the classroom, I found myself actively recalling much of what we had learned and applying it to the tangible land and sea of Kino Bay.”
Miles Fee, Class of 2021
