Give. Island Creek Oyster Foundation

The Island Creek Oysters foundation strives to give locally and globally to issues impacting Duxbury Bay, Children, and Food. We start by donating 10% of Island Creek Oysters' profit to our foundation every year.

Our Mission is

to promote, develop and support programs and institutions that conduct educational and other programs designed to assure access and enjoyment of Duxbury Bay for children and others who may not otherwise have the opportunity for such experiences
to promote, develop and support programs and institutions that protect and preserve the unique natural, scenic and historic nature of Duxbury Bay
to promote, develop and support programs and institutions in order to advance socially and environmentally responsible economic growth associated with the use of Duxbury Bay
to promote, develop and support programs and institutions that combat malnutrition and food shortages around the world
to support other programs, organizations and institutions engaged in advancing similar goals

This winter, the Island Creek Oysters Foundation will begin funding an aquaculture project in Zanzibar. Through our friends at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, we're helping to build a shellfish hatchery that communities in Zanzibar will be able to use to source shellfish seed which they can grow, and in turn create a sustainable protein source.

Our biggest fundraiser is the annual Island Creek Oyster Festival. This year we are pleased to support these local charities in addition to our work in Africa. They are all great organizations doing wonderful things for the greater community we live in.
