Support OWSA

Oregon Women's Sailing Association is a 501(c(missing upload )3) charitable organization. We are completely volunteer-run and welcome any support you can provide. With your help, we'll continue to provide more opportunities to grow and share the sport we all love.

Business Sponsorship

We're looking for partners who believe in what we do: that confidence is built with each tack and jibe, that community is grown one shared sail at a time, and that access to the water should be for everyone.

Your sponsorship directly supports the upkeep of our vessels, the development of our educational programming, and the creation of inclusive events that invite more women to experience the water with confidence and joy. From $250 gifts that create first sailing adventures to $2,500 contributions that provide larger organizational impacts, your support helps keep our mission afloat. We'd love to bring you on board.
