🌊 Your Impact Starts Here 🌊

Every wave of change begins with a single ripple — your ripple. At Changing Tides Foundation, we believe in the power of community to protect our oceans, empower women, and create a more sustainable future.

💙 When you give, you’re funding:
- Environmental education that sparks action
- Women-led programs that inspire leadership globally
- Clean water initiatives that transform communities
- Every dollar goes directly to programs making a tangible difference — from the coastline to the classroom.

✨ Together, we can turn small acts into lasting waves of change.

📲 Donate today with the link in our bio and be part of the movement.

🌊 In 2016, Changing Tides Foundation was born on the North Shore of Oʻahu, when our founders came together in a little house called the Henhouse with a big dream.

Not long after, the very first WOMP program was born in Panama — the seed of what would grow into a global movement.

We’re more than a foundation. We’re a sisterhood. A ripple effect of women rising, oceans healing, and communities thriving.

From teaching a woman to catch her first wave, to installing clean water systems in remote villages, to raising our voices for ocean protection — our mission is to empower women and protect the earth we all share.

💙 Where passion meets action:
• Empowerment – building leaders through skills, confidence & connection
• Environmental Action – tackling plastic pollution & advocating for ocean health
• Community – linking arms globally to create lasting change

Every story, every project, every wave is part of something bigger. Together, we’re Changing Tides.

Well this is rad... CTF Ambassador and all round epic human @keiti_mar is becoming a STATUE!!

We are beyond proud to celebrate Katie McConnell as one of the Game Changers featured in #IfThenSheCan – The Exhibit: Game Changers, created by the @ifthenshecan .

The exhibit recognizes women who are changing the future of sports through science, technology, engineering, and innovation, and our friend Katie made “surf coach, changemaker, and statue” all fit on one resume.

We’re so stoked that this amazing woman is getting the hard-earned recognition she deserves.

Here’s to showing girls everywhere that there are countless ways to make an impact: whether that’s in the ocean, in a lab, on a playing field, or as a statue!!

Huge congrats, Katie!! So well deserved, amiga. 🎉🤙🏻 by @changingtidesfoundation

There’s something about the ocean that brings us back to ourselves. A reminder to slow down, breathe deeper, and stay present for the moments that matter most. by @changingtidesfoundation

Confidence doesn’t always look fearless. Sometimes it looks like trying something new, showing up even when you’re nervous, encouraging someone else, or getting back in the water after a hard day.

We’ve seen this again and again in spaces like our Oahu Untamed experience, where women come together from different places and backgrounds and something shifts. There’s a kind of magic that happens in shared presence, in the ocean, and in choosing to show up as you are.

One of the most powerful parts of surf and community is realizing confidence can grow quietly, one moment at a time.

Now Days brings together six of the most influential surfers shaping the sport – @caroline_markss , @picklummolly , @sierrakerr , @erinbrookssurf , @skybrown , and @caitysimmers – as they collectively push surfing forward. The film captures surfing at its highest level, placing this group at the center of a rapidly evolving movement.

We are honored to be screening this defining @redbull film at Seaster Stories with @girlgromsurfclub on Friday, August 14th at @oceansidemuseum

Access to the ocean can create so much more than a surf experience. It can build confidence, connection, healing, belonging, and leadership. We believe every woman and young person deserves the opportunity to feel supported, empowered, and at home in the water. by @changingtidesfoundation

Summer has reminded us that some of the most meaningful moments are also the simplest. Early mornings at the beach, shared laughter in the sand, cheering each other on in the water, and building confidence one small step at a time. These moments of connection, joy, and community are what Changing Tides is all about.
