About AYCF
The Annapolis Yacht Club Foundation (AYCF) was established by the Annapolis Yacht Club to:
- provide an opportunity for its members to act collectively to foster local excellence in national and international amateur sailing competition,
- contribute to maritime-related charitable and edcucational organizations in the Mid-Chesapeake Bay region, and
- support charitable and educational activities undertaken by the Club.
Awards to support amateur sailing competition are made on the recommendation of a distinguished Advisory Committee, grants to maritime-related charitable and educational organizations provide members an opportunity to support the community in which their Club is located, and scholarships permit underprivileged youths to participate in maritime-related educational activities.
