Crw Events, a charitable nonprofit organization, operates with the goal of promoting amateur athletic sailing for the public benefit. Our mission is to build strong connections with the up-and-coming college community of young sailors and beginners of all ages. Over the years, we have nurtured relationships with sailors who share our passion for boating, particularly sailing. Our annual event, a thrilling 4-day sailing race, aims to bring together sailors from around the world. However, we recognize that achieving this wouldn't be possible without the invaluable contributions of our dedicated volunteers, generous sponsors, and the grants we receive. Our integrity, creativity, and core values are deeply rooted in the sailing community. Our long-term vision includes bolstering the infrastructure of a community sailing center-a hub for fostering participation and education in sailing.

501(c)(3) charity; gifts are tax-deductible.
76¢ of each $1 spent went to programs.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
