Fund the next dive
Support a Dive
Fathom runs on grants and donations, with no commercial sponsor holding rights to any finding. Here’s how to help fund the next expedition.
01
One-time donation
Every dollar goes toward vessel fuel, ROV maintenance, and crew stipends — Fathom has no paid administrative staff.
02
Monthly supporter
Recurring support funds our baseline operating costs and lets us commit to expeditions further in advance.
03
Research grants
We accept institutional and foundation grants tied to specific survey objectives — reach out to discuss scope.
04
Equipment donation
Working-condition sonar, ROV, or sampling equipment can sometimes be more valuable to us than cash. Contact us first.
