Wrightsville Beach Foundation

About Us

Lending a Hand in the Sand

The Wrightsville Beach Foundation (formerly Wrightsville Beach Parks and Recreation Foundation) was founded in 2005 when a group of WB Parks and Recreation Advisory Board members and concerned residents identified a gap between park amenity needs and town funding. The committee obtained a non-profit status and started a membership and sponsorship drive.

Our mission statement - The Wrightsville Beach Foundation is committed to identifying community and environmental needs to improve, enhance, and promote the quality of life and enjoyment of Wrightsville Beach’s parks, programs and amenities. We support educational and care giving organizations at the beach and in our surrounding area and collaborate with other organizations and the Town of Wrightsville Beach in support of our mission.

Wrightsville Beach is blessed with unique natural resources including the beach, park areas, the popular "Loop" and most importantly, people, who recognize the need to preserve and enhance our natural and local resources. We invite you to join our mission and work with us to achieve our mission to support our beach and surrounding community.
