DBMS Annual Fund

Make your contribution to help sustain the wonderful work done here at DBMS!

What did the Annual Fund allow us to do in 2023?

Deliver over 100,000 hours of mission serving programming and award over $80,000 of scholarships!

A little history…

In 1997, a small group of individuals founded the Duxbury Bay Maritime School with a simple idea, “to connect the community to Duxbury Bay.”  Outgoing Board Chair, Fred Clifford, describes it best:

“No organization that I have been involved with comes even close to the deep satisfaction as DBMS. Perhaps because this miracle started with an idea and a few individuals with a passion to make it happen. We started from scratch, with nothing – no money, no land, but with this idea. And then we sought and received overwhelming support from our community. And we made it happen.”

Now, twenty-three years later, it is truly remarkable what this idea has become. Each year, DBMS connects thousands of individuals to Duxbury Bay through a wide variety of educational and recreational programming. Yet, these connections simply would not be possible without the sustained support of our community.

A special thanks to our 2023 DBMS Donors…

And welcome to the newest DBMS Founders*
