About the company
The Surfrider Foundation, a San Clemente, California-based nonprofit tax-exempt organization, operates as a federal grant recipient focused on coastal ecosystem restoration and marine debris prevention, with 80% of its recent award footprint as a prime recipient and 20% as a sub-recipient under larger federal grant programs. The foundation has received $2.2 million in combined federal obligated funds across ten awards since 2007, working with three distinct customer agencies over a multi-decade relationship with minimal year-to-year transaction volume.
The foundation's capability portfolio centers on nature-based coastal resilience work. As a prime recipient, Surfrider completed a cooperative agreement with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) running September 2023 through February 2025 for the "Freedom from Debris for the Fourth of July Holiday" project in Lincoln County, Oregon, which combined outreach and prevention campaigns targeting fireworks consumers with at least 15 beach cleanups and marine-debris-reduction tracking. More recently, Surfrider received a $319,580 project grant from the Department of Agriculture Forest Service International Institute of Tropical Forestry Jardin Botanico Sur under the Cooperative Forestry Assistance program (CFDA 10.664), awarded July 21, 2026, running through August 31, 2028, to map and remove Australian pine stands in Puerto Rico while planting native dune, coastal forest, and mangrove species from Surfrider's greenhouse, with staff and volunteer safety training and site monitoring built into performance. In its sub-recipient role, Surfrider participates in the Hispanic Access Foundation's Puerto Rico Resiliente! project (awarded May 5, 2025) conducting mangrove and dune tree planting and invasive species removal across vulnerable coastal areas, and supports the University of Hawaii's in-situ detection of fecal indicators project (awarded February 16, 2024) for advanced ocean safety forecasting.
Customer concentration sits entirely with NOAA (8 awards) and USDA Forest Service programs (2 awards). Activity has been episodic; the foundation has averaged fewer than one award per year over the past five years. One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
