The St. George Community Sailing Foundation was founded in 2001 to promote and teach sailing in the town of St. George, Maine. The summer of 2025 will be our 25th season! The program operates out of Tenants Harbor, which is in the town of St. George. As part of its mission to reach as many young people as possible, St. George Sailing offers reduced tuition to local children, and also makes scholarships available to those who need them. The Foundation has a cooperative relationship with UMaine 4-H Camp and Learning Center at Blueberry Cove, also known as Blueberry Cove Camp. The Camp provides a base ashore for St. George Sailing, and St. George Sailing enrolls Blueberry Cove campers in its programs. |

| The Foundation is a non-profit Maine corporation, holding 501(c)(3) status with the Internal Revenue Service. | ||
| SGCSF welcomes capital contributions for the purchase of sailing dinghies, floats, support boats and related equipment. We also accept used boats that we resell to benefit the program. If the donor qualifies for a tax deduction, we can supply the proper IRS forms to take that deduction. | ||
| St. George Sailing also encourages donations to maintain its low fees. Tuitions typically cover less than half of our operating costs in any given year. (There is a PayPal donation button above!) |
