The Chicago Yacht Club Foundation exists to bring the joys and benefits of boating to all, with primary focus on youth from underrepresented communities.

Through our nautical education programs, grants & scholarships, and partnerships, the Chicago Yacht Club foundation produces a robust set of on- and off-the water programs that serve this mission, and provides resources for those in Chicagoland and elsewhere who wish to continue beyond what the Foundation offers.

We invite you to learn more and support our efforts.
