Special Partners of the Dolphin Research Institute are like Adopt-A-Dolphin supporters, but want to do more through making a longer-term and regular commitment. Monthly contributions through credit cards or direct debit from a bank account makes the support of Special Partners achieve that "extra amount", saving on our costs of renewing annual support and strengthening our ability to plan ahead. Most people also find that this a more convenient way to be involved.
Special Partners also receive additional feedback and invitations to become involved in VIP activities.
