Partner with Surfpop!

Invest in long-term youth development in Cape Town

Surfpop partners with foundations, trusts, companies and other organisations that want to create meaningful, long-term opportunities for children and youth in South Africa. Together, we support young people from childhood through school and into further education, training and employment.

Why partner with Surfpop?

Our holistic approach combines surfing, education, life coaching and nutrition to support each child’s wellbeing, development and future opportunities. We measure our impact and use these insights to continuously strengthen our programs. Alongside grants and donations, we generate income through our Surfpop Surf School and international volunteer program, helping diversify our funding and strengthen our long-term sustainability.

Ways to partner with Surfpop

Support our holistic youth development program

Funding helps us provide children and young people with consistent, long-term support through surfing, after-school education, life coaching, nutritious meals and guidance towards future opportunities. Rather than funding isolated activities, our partners can invest in a holistic program that supports the whole child throughout their development.

Help launch Surfpop Next Wave

Building on our existing life coaching and future-readiness activities, Next Wave will provide more intensive and structured support as young people move from high school into further education and employment. Through individual coaching, career exposure and professional networks, young people will prepare for tertiary education, TVET or work, with continued support after school to overcome practical barriers and take their next steps.

Planned launch: 2027 | Subject to funding

Corporate partnerships

Companies can partner with Surfpop through program sponsorship, financial or in-kind support, and longer-term corporate partnerships. In return, we can offer tax certificates, BBBEE points, meaningful brand visibility through opportunities such as Surfpop bus branding, program materials, events and digital communications. We work with each corporate partner to create a collaboration that supports our mission, while providing relevant visibility and engagement.

Whether you are a foundation, trust, company or individual funder, we would love to explore how we can create long-term impact together.
