Encinal Sailing Foundation

MISSION

The purpose of the Encinal Sailing Foundation is to promote an interest in boating activity with a particular emphasis on youth programs. Approximately 95% of resources go the EYC Junior Sailing Program. The foundation is a nonprofit public benefit corporation and is not organized for the private gain of any person.

HISTORY

The Encinal Sailing Foundation was formed in 1992 by club members Rich Pipkin, Howie Marion, and Dr David Oliver. Dr Oliver championed the filing of an application with the IRS to become a charitable non profit tax exempt corporation under paragraph 501(c)(3) of the IRS code. This allows for donations to be tax deductible by the donors.The Encinal Sailing Foundation is a completely separate entity from the Encinal Yacht Club as well as the EYC Junior Sailing Program. It is a legal corporation to receive donations and place them in service for our youth programs. The foundation directly welcomes financial donations, boats, motors, equipment, cars, and anything that has value. The items are either granted to the youth program for their use or sold to generate funds to be used for those purposes. The members and officers of the corporation have evolved over the years with Rich Pipkin, Howie Marion, Dick Crosson, and Dr. David Oliver all serving presidential terms. The current members and officers are Paul Delle Cese, Barbara Grove, and President, Michael Gorman, all serving as volunteers.
