The Mission of Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute Foundation, Inc. |
|
HBOIF is a Direct-Support Organization (DSO) of Florida Atlantic University benefitting Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute. The DSO designation allows HBOIF to affiliate with the Florida Atlantic University Foundation, Inc. through which all private support dollars are administered. This arrangement allows HBOIF to benefit from the business operations of a larger foundation. The Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute Foundation, Inc. (HBOIF) is the named recipient of the revenue generated from the four Harbor Branch specialty license plates owned by more than 140,000 Florida residents. The HBOI plates – Protect Wild Dolphins, Protect Florida Whales, Save Our Seas, and Aquaculture – are among Florida’s most popular, providing more than $3 million for HBOI research in 2010. |
