Expedition Audacity Research Foundation

Be Bold. Fund Audacity. Sail for Change.
We Listen to the Wild So We Can Speak for It
Bold Science. True Stories. Real Impact.

The Expedition Audacity Research Foundation (E.A.R. Foundation) is not your average environmental group with a slogan and a newsletter. We’re a global alliance of scientists, sailors, storytellers, and activists who’d rather risk salt spray in our faces than sit in a boardroom debating PowerPoints. From the Arctic ice edge to the headwaters of the Amazon, we go where silence falls—and speak for what’s vanishing.

Through our initiatives—R/V Audacity and Audax Ventus—we collect hard data, amplify Indigenous voices, and shine light on environmental harm in places most people will never see. It isn’t tourism. It isn’t comfortable. It’s necessary.

Your Chance to Sail

Every donation enters you into our Donor & Patron Sweepstakes for the chance to win a week-long expedition for two aboard our 30-metre sailing research vessel.

Why Give?

Because time is running out.
Because ecosystems are collapsing.
Because the voices that defend the wild are being silenced.

This isn’t Instagram tourism.
This is impact.

Your support fuels climate research, Indigenous-led exploration, and urgent investigations into ecological crime.

Together, we’re not just sailing into the future—
We’re shaping it.
