If you wish to support a particular Sailowtech project, you can specify this at the time of payment or contact (e.g. "For Arvor"). If you don't specify, Sailowtech will allocate the money according to its needs.

Most of our budget goes to our expeditions. The next one for which we are seeking funding is Arvor.

Our financial support also enables us to organize events such as Camp Ocean, inviting guest speakers and offering free entertainment to students. 

Please indicate "Arvor" in the comment section of the transfer.

 The Atlantea expedition is Sailowtech's first expedition. It is a one-year sailing expedition that contributes to the understanding of the ocean by combining science, awareness-raising and minimization of the environmental footprint. The project is a first for Switzerland and the EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne), linking Switzerland to France and to the North Atlantic Ocean and its people. The Atlantea expedition is Sailowtech's biggest project to date, and its scope is international, both in terms of the necessary cultural exchanges and active participation in collaborative low-tech scientific research.

This project is supported by the Ocean Trotter association, which lends us its sailboat and has been with us since the beginning of the project. It ensures that the crew travels safely and with the right tools. These logistics are our biggest cost center. So we set up a crowdfunding scheme under the name of Ocean Trotter, which allows you to receive a few small gifts from the crew along the way. All the money raised will be ploughed back into the Atlantea project. Ocean Trotter is recognized as a public interest organization in France.

Donations are therefore tax-exempt for the French, at 66% for individuals and 60% for companies. Toutefois, vous pouvez bien sûr faire un don depuis d’autres pays. Il y a la possibilité de décocher la commission pour la plateforme Hello Asso au moment de payer.
