The Great Harbor Yacht Club Foundation this month committed to funding $630,000 in grants to a range of initiatives dedicated to the health of Nantucket Harbor and its marine ecosystems. This cycle’s recipients span a diverse array of causes, including coastal resilience, research, remediation and education and scholarships.

We were thrilled to bring our Harbor Health Symposium to the community to hear from scientists, environmental leaders, and local residents to deepen our understanding of the fragile marine ecosystems that define Nantucket and the broader Atlantic coast. Our audience included a special visit from State Representative Thomas Moakley who was on hand to add support where needed.

In a demonstration of commitment to our mission, the Great Harbor Yacht Club Foundation has this month distributed its semi-annual grants to support a range of initiatives driven by our island partners.

The Board of the Great Harbor Yacht Club Foundation is pleased to announce that Christine Bell has been chosen as the Foundation’s new Executive Director effective November 1, 2024.
