Sports Enablement Foundation
SEF provides support and creates an encouraging community for people with disabilities. SEF provides them with the funding, equipment, training, and opportunities to enable them to participate in sporting events that they would otherwise not be able to on their own. The foundation raises money from grants, donations, and other sources to fund these activities. They also provide grants to assist those in need of funds and equipment in order to participate. SEF will initially focus on adaptive surfing and getting the participation level up to the point that it can become part of the Paralympic in 2028 in conjunction with the International Surfing Association (ISA).
