Virginia Maritime Heritage Foundation and Nauticus Foundation have partnered bringing schooner VIRGINIA to the downtown Norfolk waterfront visitation and special events as fundraising efforts to get VIRGINIA sailing intensify.The Virginia Maritime Heritage Foundation, owner and operator of schooner Virginia, and the Nauticus Foundation have partnered bringing schooner Virginia pier side at Nauticus with future plans for VIRGINIA to become the centerpiece of the newly planned sailing center at Nauticus. The joint venture of the two foundations is a great fit that takes advantage of the synergy and missions of both organizations – specifically youth education. While the VMHF continues to seek the support that will sustain Virginia into the future, its Nauticus location keeps Virginia back in the public view and provides a platform for Nauticus to launch its newly planned sailing center while we get VIRGINIA sailing again. Like the Virginia Maritime Heritage Foundation, The Nauticus Foundation, also a non-profit 501(c) 3 foundation, receives donations from individuals, corporations, and other foundations in the form of grants to support educational and outreach programs affiliated with Nauticus. Through this public support, the Nauticus Foundation is able to provide funding for additional educational outreach after-school science clubs, in-class workshops, and additional field trips that inspire and teach over 100,000 school children each year. Your tax deductable donation is needed to continue our important work. Please consider making a donation today! Photo courtesy of Dylan Clark |
