FORT FISHER, N.C. (WECT)- The pandemic has had a massive impact on nonprofits, and the North Carolina Aquarium Society is not exempt from the struggle to raise funds.
The states’ aquariums were shut down for nearly six months to visitors, leading to a combined $12 million revenue shortfall.
Staff never stopped tending to the animals, but the lost funds are critical to conservation efforts, renovation plans and educational outreach.
On Giving Tuesday, the Aquarium Society launched their Wishes for Fishes Campaign to address the need for funds.
