Shine
Foundation
Catalyst for child recovery. We raise funds, awareness, and teach life skills through nature-based programs and community events, directing resources to trusted organizations that support children in need.

What We Do

Organize Events & Programs

We create community-led experiences that teach life skills and build healing connections - surf camps, nature programs, vineyard 5K runs, and outdoor adventures. Each event becomes part of the Shine ecosystem, bringing people together for a powerful cause.

Fund Direct Care

We fund small organizations that directly help children who have experienced trauma. These trusted partners provide safe shelter, healing support, and long-term care. We work behind the scenes to make sure they have the resources they need.
