2022 Year End Summary
NSF Started in late 2013 and is now going into its 10th year.
Started by 4 boaters who wanted to have people safely enjoy water activities.
As we boated, we saw empty life jacket kiosks along the rivers and lakes.
An empty kiosk serves no purpose! Our goal is to make sure kiosks have life jackets.
NSF is a non-profit 501c3.
We support over 40 water safety organizations in Oregon and SW Washington
About 150 life jacket kiosks are supported in our region!
Roughly 75% of the kiosks are in Oregon and the rest in SW Washington.
In 2020, the year of COVID-19, we delivered 1433 life jackets for $8,383
In 2021, the 2nd year of COVID, we delivered 1225 life jackets for $9,987
In 2022, we delivered over 1600 life jackets for $13,000 a 30% increase!
Our 2023 forecast shows a steady increase in need.
Funding comes from generous donations by Yacht Clubs, individuals, boating organizations like CRYA and various grants from charitable foundations. For 2022, Oregon State Marine Board is provided us a grant.
