About

The Miles River Yacht Club Foundation was established in 2010 to support youth-oriented competitive sailing and swimming and maritime-focused educational activities in the Chesapeake Bay region. We use the name MRYC Foundation. The Foundation, although independent, is affiliated with the Miles River Yacht Club of

St. Michaels, MD.​

​

The MRYC Foundation is governed by an independent Board of Directors. We carry out our mission through grants of facilities, equipment, scholarships, and general support to organizations, programs, and individuals who support the goals of the Foundation.

MRYC Foundation is a nationally recognized nonprofit organization under section 501(c)(3) of the US Internal Revenue Code, allowing our donors to take a charitable deduction for donations. We offer our donors the opportunity to have named scholarships and other purpose-driven donations that meet our mission.
