Every dollar stays on this beach
Make a Donation
Your donation buys rescue equipment the city budget can’t stretch to, funds scholarships for Del Mar lifeguards, and pays for the safety education and community events that keep this beach what it is. No middlemen, no overhead machine — a volunteer board and a direct line to the sand.
We accept donations through Venmo

Before you send: verify it’s really us
Impersonation scams exist, and we’d rather you double-check than get burned. Confirm all of this in the Venmo app before sending:
- The account name reads “Del Mar Lifeguard Association”
- The last four digits of the phone number are 3951
- Confirm the handle is @DMLA1. Add a note with your payment: “DMLA donation”
If anything doesn’t match, don’t send — contact us first and we’ll sort it out.
Need a donation receipt?
Receipts are handled manually. Email thedelmarlifeguardassociation@gmail.com with your donation date and amount so DMLA can locate the payment and arrange your receipt.
