Sponsors · Beach Recovery Foundation · Miami Beach · New York
Stand in front of a shoreline that rebuilds itself.
The Beach Recovery Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Sponsors fund the film, the public art, the education work and the events that put the Beach Recovery System in front of the public — and their mark stands in front of the change it helped pay for. Every installation is photographed and filmed from the day the tubes go in.
Four ways
Where sponsorship goes
- 01
Art Basel week 2026
One of six sponsor seats at the Foundation's storefront, gallery and lounge in Miami Beach (33141): a dedicated booth for the week, your brand on the red-carpet backdrop, VIP access for your organization, and $170,000 in advertising value. One brand per category.

Saving BÚ — episode sponsorship
Saving BÚ is a twelve-part documentary series and public utility film. Each episode follows one installation of the Beach Recovery System from the day the stabilizer tubes go in. An episode sponsor is credited on that episode and on the installation it documents.
- 03
Public art & the Coastal Canvas
Artwork from the Foundation's collaborating artists is carried on canvases above the stabilizer tubes, beside partner brands, for the film. A canvas sponsor's mark stands beside the art on the shoreline and in every frame shot there.
- 04
Education & public programs
Classroom material, site visits and public talks on how a shoreline recovers through natural accretion — non-toxic, minimally invasive, basalt-based. Education sponsors are credited on the materials and at every program they fund.

The work
Forty years of results. Twelve episodes. One shoreline at a time.
The Beach Recovery System is a basalt-fiber coastal accretion system. During wave action, sand suspends in the water; as the water slows, grain by grain, it settles in thin layers behind the stabilizer tubes. Over days and weeks those layers become a wider berm and a gentler beach face. The system is buried. The beach is recovered. Saving BÚ documents it, one installation per episode.

Sponsorship is a marketing and hospitality arrangement with the Beach Recovery Foundation and confers no interest in the Foundation, the Coastal Legacy Fund, BRIDGE or any affiliate. Fund and project briefings are provided for information only under a non-disclosure agreement and are not an offer of securities. Advertising value is the Foundation's good-faith estimate of equivalent media placement and is substantiated in the post-sponsorship report. Whether any part of a sponsorship is deductible depends on your situation; take advice from your own adviser. The Beach Recovery System is engineered and installed by Basalt International; sponsorship of the Foundation does not include shoreline services.
Three steps
How to start
1 · Email us
Write to jb@beachrecoveryfoundation.org with your brand, what you want to sponsor — a seat, an episode, a canvas or a program — and what you have in mind. That is all the first email needs.
2 · Receive the terms
We send the sponsorship terms for the work you want to support: the credit, the documentation, the events and the reporting.
3 · Confirm
Sponsorships are confirmed in the order agreements are signed. Sponsors go onto this page the same week, with their mark shown once they approve it.
Art Basel week is the first event. Saving BÚ is the first film.
We are speaking first with coastal hospitality and marina operators, coastal lifestyle brands, and the insurers and investors for whom a recovering shoreline is their own business.
