Our vision for the future includes cleaner, healthier waterways through strong local stewardship and collective action around the world. We work to facilitate this transition by supporting local solutions to global problems, led by community organizations and industry leaders. 11th Hour Racing supports projects that improve ocean health and address the environmental challenges faced by coastal communities.
By supporting programs that model best practices of sustainability, restore coastal ecosystems, and advance ocean stewardship, our grantees are creating systemic change to restore ocean health.
