Boardmasters Foundation

What Is The Boardmasters Foundation?

Established in 2017, the Boardmasters Foundation was born out of our desire to give back and support the culture and surrounding communities that are at the heart of our festival. The Boardmasters Foundation will build on and grow the annual fundraising and charitable donations that the festival has already made year-on-year.

How It Works:

Each year Boardmasters raises funds for the foundation and reviews which projects and charities we will be supporting with one-off donations that year, whilst continuing to work with our long-term partners.

How We Support

The Foundation aims to support individuals, groups, charities and organisations that fall under our key pillars of focus – Culture and Community.

CULTURE 
Recipient or organisation that is heavily involved with and promotes surfing, sports, music, arts or Cornish Culture. Or organisation involved with improving, raising awareness and supporting societal issues such as (but not limited to) homelessness, mental health and negative environmental impacts.

COMMUNITY
Recipient or organisation that is local to Cornwall (preferably Newquay) and enhances, educates or supports the lives of locals in the area.

History

Boardmasters has been raising money for good causes and projects since 2002. Over the years we have supported a variety of local charities, organisations and projects from Surfers against Sewage and the UK Pro Surf, to the Porth Residents Committee, the Porth Town Band and St Mawgan Minis Football Club.
