Funding The Floathouse Future
We’re here now, and Moving Forward. Please Donate to The Floathouse Today!
What a remarkable year it’s been on the river!
Thanks to you and your support, in October of 2022, The Floathouse opened, launching a new era of Petaluma River recreation. But there’s still work to do. With your continued support , we can keep moving forward and ensure river access for everyone.
Every new venture takes time to achieve financial stability. After two historically wet winters, several unexpected closures and a temporary relocation due to City dock work, we’re still finding our footing.
So yes, we we rely on you, our Floathouse friends, boating benefactors and pontoon pals. Your support has always made—and continues to make—all the difference in our efforts to expand river access. Read on to find out how we’re carefully dedicating each donor dollar to programs, fleet expansion, and events that reach our entire community.
The Petaluma Small Craft Center exemplifies quiet dedication, like the “little engine that could.” We focus on doing the work—without fanfare or large grants—making every donor dollar count.
Your donation will help us build a winter reserve, maintain our facilities and fleet, add new access-friendly watercraft, help retire our opening debt, and expand our outreach and programming. WIth your continued commitment, we can reach even more people and fulfill the promise of river access for all.
As people experience the Petaluma River first-hand—especially on our people powered watercraft—they begin to realize its value as a vital resource in historic Petaluma. These experiences foster a deeper connection to the river, inspiring each of us to become not only stewards but passionate advocates for expanded river access for all.
