Purpose & Mission

• The St. Francis Sailing Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization (TIN: 94-2956977), was created to encourage, promote, and enhance the sport of sailing. We provide support to young sailors just beginning their careers, competitive sailors as they advance, and elite sailors seeking world-class competition. Additionally, we assist programs that introduce sailing to students, underserved youth, and individuals facing physical challenges.
• Funds raised go directly to the Foundation’s grants, supporting Olympic hopefuls, youth sailing programs, and inclusive sailing initiatives.
• This annual auction is our primary fundraising event, with 100% of net proceeds dedicated to grants.
