"Your support is the lifeblood of Veteran Sailing and makes what we do possible. Thank you!" 

- From our Founder, Brian Forristal

Ways to support

  • ​​One-Time Donation – Make an immediate impact with a one-time gift. Your contribution goes directly toward funding our sailing programs, grants for veterans to attend sailing certification courses, and supporting educational opportunities for veterans. Every dollar helps us provide a safe and empowering experience on the water.

​

  • Monthly Giving – Provide ongoing support by setting up a recurring donation. Monthly donors help us plan for the future and sustain our programs year-round. Even small monthly gifts add up to make a big difference in the lives of veterans.

​

  • ​Boat Donations – Donate a boat or marine equipment to support our programs directly. Your generous donation helps expand our fleet and provide more sailing opportunities for veterans. We accept boats in good condition and handle all the details for a smooth donation process.

​

  • Sponsorships – Help us cover costs like boat rentals, safety equipment, and educational materials. It's also a great opportunity for businesses to show their support for the veteran community. Reach out to info@vetsailing.org or send us a message to learn more about becoming a sponsor. 

​

  • In-Kind Donations – Contribute sailing equipment, supplies, or other valuable resources. Items like life jackets, sailing gear, and office supplies help us reduce costs and focus more resources on our mission. If you have something to donate, please contact us to see how it can help

​

  • Volunteer Time – Give the gift of time by volunteering at events or behind the scenes. Whether you’re experienced in sailing or just want to help out, volunteers are essential to our mission. Join our community and make a difference in veterans’ lives.
