Support the Capital Cichlid Association

The Capital Cichlid Association is a 100% volunteer-run organization, and the most valuable contribution you can make is your time and expertise.

However, we understand that work and family commitments can make volunteering difficult. If you're unable to give your time, a financial donation is the next best way to support the club. Your contributions help cover essential costs, including:

Meeting space rentals

Speaker honorariums and travel expenses

Group buy expenses (e.g., next-day shipping for livestock)

Social events like our annual picnic and holiday party
