Welcome to the Starboard Foundation,

where we celebrate the essence of sailing, marine education, sportsmanship, and competition. Since 2015, we have remained dedicated to promoting and protecting the maritime interests of Eagle Mountain Lake. Our mission is to ignite passion and cultivate a deeper appreciation for sailing, boating, fishing, and maritime education. In 2024, we invite you to embark with us on a new journey to expand our reach and impact through the launch of our website. Get Onboard, Get Inspired. 

THE GOAL

The Starboard Foundation aims to promote a lifelong love for sailing and other water sports by providing instruction, environment, and equipment. Programs are accessible to everyone, with financial assistance available for those who need it.

SCHOLARSHIPS

Additionally, the foundation assists in the funding of various programs that serve both individuals and teams who, otherwise, would not have the opportunity to experience maritime activities.

SUCCESSES

The Starboard Foundation's inaugural gala raised over $100,000. These funds provided a critical foundation for supporting Eagle Mountain Lake, allowing us to acquire a fleet of 12 FJs and a 19' coach boat. This initial investment empowered the Foundation to fulfill its mission and grow its resources to serve the community.

TESTIMONIALS

“4 Years ago Starboard gave me a scholarship to attend summer sailing camp at the Fort Worth Boat Club. At sailing camp I learned that I could be a part of the Nolan High School Sailing Team in 8th grade. Now I have been on that team for 4 years and it is an integral part of my life. Starboard provides the FWBC with the resources to provide scholarships, uniforms, and equipment to expand the sailing community in Fort Worth.”

Captain of the Nolan Catholic Viking Sailing Team

“ Every year my teammates anticipate anxiously for the invite to the Starboard Foundation’s Clay Shoot!

Celebrating the natural beauty of the area by blowing away some clays while helping a great cause is always a winning combination!

Our teams always look forward to the hayride…it’s a memorable trip every year!”

Dan Merkel, Texas Air Systems

"The Starboard Foundation has been the foundation for Texas youth sailors for a decade now. Their unwavering support for the sport of sailing has made a huge impact for youth sailing by providing the promotion, encouragement and tools to create sailors in a sport that teaches countless life lessons. Sailing is a life sport that encourages youth sailors to become confident and amazing humans. Thank you Starboard Foundation for all you do!"

Scott Lindley

“We are thrilled to collaborate with the Starboard Foundation. They are a remarkable organization, and their support for our initiatives has been invaluable. We wholeheartedly endorse their efforts and look forward to working together to ensure the continued preservation and prosperity of Eagle Mountain Lake.”

Cary Lewis, President of Save Eagle Mountain Lake, Inc.

"The starboard foundation has been very supportive to my Olympic Campaign and I wouldn’t have been able to compete at my best without their support. The starboard foundation has also been instrumental in the development of future high performance sailors in North Texas on eagle mountain lake. I’m very thankful for all their support!"
