Double your impact - Help us meet our $50K match!
Every dollar you give will be doubled up to $50,000! Help us meet this matching grant and maximize this opportunity!
We are still raising funds towards our $200,000 goal. This will cover the new gig, and our annual operating expenses which includes maintaining our current two boats and trailers.
Will you help us get the rest of the way? Every dollar makes a difference. Consider sustaining us with a monthly donation. Thank you for your support in keeping this program active and available to our current community and ensuring access to empowering seamanship, community building, and leadership training for hundreds of more youth (and adults) in future years, too.

"On behalf of the trustees of The Windover Foundation, I am pleased to inform you that we have approved a grant in the amount of $50,000 to support the building of a new boat to be used in your rowing and sailing programs.
We are inspired to make this gift by your organization’s focus on the mental and physical development of young people and the hands-on opportunities you provide youth that will lead to their development as compassionate and community-minded young adults." |
Well-built, safe boats are essential for the health and function of our organization. A new gig will allow us to continue to maintain a healthy, thriving program and offer empowering experiences to hundreds of participants for decades to come. We need to add another gig to our aging fleet soon before our two others are too far in disrepair or need to be entirely rebuilt.
We're partnering with Lowell's Boatshop to build our new Bantry Bay gig in Amesbury, MA. Lowell’s is a working boat shop and museum, offering youth and adult woodworking, boatbuilding, and rowing programs. We wish to perpetuate traditional boatbuilding skills and inspire a new generation of young adult boatbuilders through this project at Lowell’s.

"The way to preserve small craft is...to get their reproductions out on the water, wear them out and replace them anew...Historical small craft are for the young and old and in between. They are to use and enjoy, and to pass on for future generations to use and enjoy, ad infinitum. Preservation through use, in the long run, that is the only way."–– John Gardner (1905-1995)
