WAVE Foundation is a nonprofit organization located at Newport Aquarium that inspires and fosters environmental stewards of aquatic life through education, conservation and volunteerism. Each year, through the support of community members like you, we have the privilege of developing young people through STEM-based education and volunteer programs. WAVE Foundation also contributes to local and global conservation initiatives that make our aquatic world a cleaner and healthier ecosystem. Generous community members, organizations and corporations fuel these efforts, experiences and initiatives.
WAVE Foundation has prioritized educating the community. In 2024, we traveled 16,402 miles to educate over 27,000 children on the importance of aquatic life. WAVE is a local leader in environmental education and conservation efforts to create a better world for future generations.
