About The Surfrider Foundation
The Surfrider Foundation, a San Clemente, California–based tax-exempt nonprofit organization, receives federal funding as a prime grant recipient and subgrant recipient focused on marine debris reduction, coastal ecosystem restoration, and ocean safety education. The organization has completed nine federal awards since 2007, with a combined obligated value of $1.9 million split between prime grants (78%) and subgrant work (22%).
Surfrider Foundation's federal footprint concentrates heavily with the Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which has funded eight of nine total awards. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration represents 100% of the organization's recent customer base, with one additional award from the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The organization does not hold contract vehicles and competes for work through direct federal grant competitions rather than IDIQs, GWACs, or other indefinite-delivery vehicles.
As a prime recipient, Surfrider Foundation executed a cooperative agreement with NOAA running from September 1, 2023 to February 28, 2025 titled "Freedom From Debris for the Fourth of July Holiday Project," designed to reduce marine debris generated by Fourth of July litter and fireworks in Lincoln County, Oregon. The project combined outreach and prevention campaigns targeting firework consumers, at least fifteen beach cleanups, and deployment of additional receptacles at priority beaches, with deliverables packaged for replication in other counties. As a subgrant recipient, Surfrider Foundation participated in the Puerto Rico Resiliente project under Hispanic Access Foundation (NOAA/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, May 5, 2025), supporting community-led coastal restoration through mangrove and dune tree planting and invasive species removal across four Puerto Rico municipalities. The organization also subgrants under the University of Hawaii on in-situ detection research for ocean safety forecasting (February 16, 2024).
Activity remains episodic—one award per year in 2023, 2024, and 2025—reflecting the nature of environmental grant cycles rather than contract task-order patterns. The organization has not competed for or held federal contracts as a prime awardee.
