Gifts from the Heart

OUR REGISTRY OF GIVING

MAKE A Global IMPACT with Dani & alex

As we celebrate our love, we've chosen to forgo a traditional registry in favor of supporting causes close to our hearts. We invite you to contribute to three nonprofits whose missions reflect care, opportunity, and harmony. Your donation will be equally distributed to support:
  • Providing a comprehensive approach to care for underprivileged children and families in Uruguay
  • Empowering underserved students in El Salvador with access to higher education
  • Protecting global marine ecosystems through ocean conservation

OCEAN CONSERVATION research 

Ocean Conservation Research (OCR) listens where others cannot—deep beneath the waves. They work to understand and protect the ocean soundscape, a lifeline for marine animals, from the life-threatening impacts of human-generated noise pollution. OCR conducts scientific research that shapes ocean policy and practices, educates youth and the public about the critical significance of sound in marine ecosystems, and advocates for energy conservation to reduce the harmful effects of human industry on the ocean and climate. They are also advancing research to protect whales from ship collisions—one of the leading causes of death for large whales.
