Philanthropic Efforts
Because of the continued support and loyalty of our passengers, the McCrea 2000 Trust has been able to fund projects for a variety of Animal Welfare Organizations and their thousands of volunteers throughout the United States, Mexico, Ecuador and Bulgaria for over a decade. The Trust is funded by the profits from Zoe’s Cruises and Tours. These Animal Welfare Organizations, and their volunteers, provide care and a second chance for both domestic and wild animals that have been injured, abandoned and abused. Our passengers are making a difference in the lives of thousands of animals. Many of the Organizations have come to our attention through our passengers over the years. The Organizations receiving support in 2018 and 2019 are noted below with a brief summary of the work funded. Your interest in these Organizations is welcome and appreciated by them.
