Paddlers for Humanity is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in East Hampton, NY.

Our commitment to you - our athletes, donors, volunteers, and supporters - is to judiciously evaluate the charities, causes, projects, families, and individuals that receive gifts from us.

Mission Statement
Paddlers for Humanity raises funds and awareness for worthy, non-profit organizations that focus on community, education, or health. The grants are awarded on an as-needed project basis.

Paddlers for Humanity also provides support to individuals who need immediate medical or financial assistance due to emergencies or catastrophic events, and bestows scholarships to students in need of financial aid.

The funds are raised through a series of paddling and running adventures and challenges.
