2026 Polynesian Voyaging Society Membership

Polynesian Voyaging Society is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization, and your donation is tax deductible within the guidelines of U.S. law.

Support the Polynesian Voyaging Society by becoming a 2026 Supporting Member. This year, your membership honors the legacy of the 1976 maiden voyage of Hōkūleʻa. Your support directly fuels education, crew training, cultural perpetuation, and the continued journey of the Moananuiākea Voyage and beyond.

The year 2026 marks 50 years since the maiden voyage of Hōkūleʻa, a historic voyage sustained by community belief and support. In recognition of this milestone, PVS has reissued archival membership designs originally created to support the 1976 voyage. Recreated for today, these designs honor the foundations of the voyaging movement and the shared responsibility that carried Hōkūleʻa to sea.

We'll track your contributions throughout the year and send you membership gifts as milestones are reached. Membership gifts will begin to be sent out mid-February 2026.
