The purpose of the USSCA Foundation is to support the education in the nautical arts and fostering amateur athletics. The USSCA Foundation (EIN# 39-3645649) strategy will align with the overall strategy of the USSCA Organization. 

 

The USSCAF exists to fulfill its mission and vision to advance sailing education, expand access to Sunfish sailing, and support the development of youth, collegiate, and community sailing programs through grants, scholarships, and outreach initiatives.   We intend to invest in programs to support a thriving, inclusive Sunfish sailing community where individuals of all ages and backgrounds can discover, learn, and grow through the lifelong sport of sailing.

 

The class and its members need a foundation to invest in education and training programs to expand opportunities for sailors to enjoy the ISCA and the camaraderie amongst its members.  As the foundation grows and matures, we intend to support initiatives which enable broader access to sailing programs through investments in boats and equipment.   Additionally, the foundation will support select US members with grants to attend national and international events which strengthen the USSCA brand and image.  

 

Through these efforts the Foundation intends to realize a stronger, larger and sustaining class organization which expands opportunities to enjoy the ISCA across a more inclusive and expansive sailing environment.

We need your support to help with enabling:

  • Seminars online and in person on topics such as strategy and tactics;
  • Educational events on the water teaching sailing as a basic skill as well as advanced skills.
  • Development of literature that will enhance understanding of the topics above as well as additional topics; and
  • Grants for boats, equipment and travel.

As a 501(c )(3), the USSCAF qualifies your donations for tax-deductible donations.  Please consider the value you receive and the enjoyments you experience sailing and socializing at regattas and fleet activities.
