The Surfrider Foundation USA is a U.S. 501 grassroots non-profit environmental organization that works to protect and preserve the world's oceans, waves and beaches. It focuses on water quality, beach access, beach and surf spot preservation, and sustaining marine and coastal ecosystems.

Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii is a grassroots, local nonprofit organization run by a small team of dedicated staff and supported by passionate volunteers. They inspire local communities to care for their coastlines through fun, hands-on beach cleanups. They also coordinate educational programs, team building corporate cleanups, waste diversion services and public awareness campaigns. Lastly, they help others organize their own beach cleanups!

We're helping fund the recovery of 500 lbs of food waste to become compost.

Un Mar De Colores is a nonprofit that envisions a broader and more welcoming surfing community. They're making it happen with programs that bridge socio-economic gaps and encourage personal exploration and expression. Through surf therapy, their students grow their individual confidence, connection to community, and a lifelong passion for ocean stewardship. 

We're helping fund 3 surfboards for BIPOC youth to use in surf therapy.

YoungArts identifies exceptional young artists, amplifies their potential, and invests in their lifelong creative freedom.

For many young people, applying to YoungArts may be the first step in affirming “I am an artist.” YoungArts is one of the only organizations in the U.S. that supports artists across 10 disciplines at all stages of development, beginning with the critical moment when they decide to pursue a life in the arts, and continuing throughout their careers.

We're helping fund the materials for 1 young artist working on an art project.

Since 1970, Pacific Rim Arts Society's (PRAS) goal has been to contribute meaningfully to the happy healthy local west coast communities, by bringing people together through arts and culture.

PRAS is a volunteer-based, non-profit society. Our volunteers and members have introduced hundreds of community residents and thousands of visitors to the work of local and visiting artists, including visual artists, carvers and sculptors, actors, writers and poets, filmmakers, dancers, and musicians.

We're helping fund a stipend for 1 local musician to perform at an outdoor festival.

Redd Fish Restoration Society (Redd Fish) is a registered charity focused on ecosystem restoration, research, and education. For over 27 years, Redd Fish has worked with permission and in partnership with the nuučaanuł Nations in their hahuułi (territory). Their mission is to use the best available science, technology, and Indigenous knowledge to restore damaged ecosystems, rebuild wild salmon stocks, and inspire an ethic of stewardship.

We're helping fund the planting of 7 trees for a large-scale restoration project.

Tofino Adventure Camp is a charitable five-day experience for inner-city youth to connect with the natural world. Their goal is to provide a once-in-a-lifetime experience for those who would not otherwise have this kind of opportunity. We aim to inspire, empower and help create lifelong memories.
