Grant Recipients
West Marine is proud to support outstanding, nonprofit, community-based organizations across the United States and Canada that are dedicated to waterlife adventure, education and recreation among young people. Twice a year, we offer grants through our BlueFuture Fund, providing these worthy organizations with the resources they need to continue offering their valuable programming.
We’re honored to introduce a few of our BlueFuture grant recipients, each of which is dedicated to getting young people on and around the water. Click below to learn more about the real difference these organizations are making in the lives of their communities’ children.
