Raise Our Sails Campaign
Campaign Goal – $25,000 by Dec. 31, 2021
Sail Nauticus is a program of the Nauticus Foundation, a 501©3 nonprofit, offering affordable community sailing memberships, lessons, workshops, summer camps, and most impactful, a free after-school sailing academy serving 6th – 8th-grade Title 1 Students from Norfolk Public Schools.
Due to our diverse programming needs, our sailboats leave the dock every day. After years of use, it’s time to outfit our boats with new sails. High-quality sails will improve reliability, handling, and speed.
All donations which exceed the cost of new sails will go towards much-needed programming supplies for our Sail Nauticus Academy operations.
