Conanicut Island Sailing Foundation Founded in 2000, by Bradford N. Swett, the Conanicut Island Sailing Foundation is located in Jamestown, RI. CISF is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit charitable organization whose mission is based around sailing, marine education, and marine access for people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. Brada??s daughter, Hannah, an accomplished sailor and summer resident of Jamestown, took over as President of the Foundation when Brad passed away. The Foundationa??s main mission to both provide & promote marine access, marine education, sailing and sailboat racing to people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. In doing so, CISF aims to develop the next generation of ocean and environmental stewards, as well as bring more people into the sport of sailing. Since itsa?? inception, CISF has been assisting sailors on Conanicut Island by providing financial assistance to those who want to learn how to sail or compete in regattas at the international level. The addition of Jamestown Sea Adventure Camp in 2012 expanded CISFa??s reach to a much broader base to include non-Jamestown residents as well. CISFa??s capital is supplemented by local fundraising efforts through an annual silent auction, as well as a fall Fundraising appeal. Over the past several years CISF has dedicated a significant amount of financial resources to Jamestown Sea Adventure Camp, held at the Town-owned park, Fort Getty. Each year of camp brings more awareness to the needs associated with providing such a service, but mostly it highlights the need for such a camp and the joy, confidence, and outdoor awareness being on and in the water brings to local youth. The most significant need identified over the past three years of holding camp is the need for an indoor facility to provide shelter and safety on inclement weather days. To that end, the Conanicut Island Sailing Foundation is pursuing a public-private partnership with the Town of Jamestown to create a community sailing and marine education center in Jamestown at Fort Getty.
