D-Marin announces support of 27 local children and community groups across Croatia

Financial support will be provided for a variety of projects, from small local charities, to sporting teams and historical and cultural groups across Tribunj, Zadar, Split, Vodice, Prvić Šepurine, Šibenik, Kaštela, Primošten, Omiš, Sinj, Vrlika, Hrvace, Općina Sukošan and Obrovac.

Dean Smith, Chief Commercial Officer at D-Marin, says: “We’re delighted to be able to provide support for so many incredible local projects in Croatia. As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy, we always strive to support the needs of local communities and respect and get involved in local cultures and traditions in the regions where our marinas are located.

“Many of the groups selected by our marinas in Croatia are dedicated to conserving local history, culture and traditions. A number of local charities and sporting groups have also received donations.”

Since its establishment, D-Marin Croatia has been awarding funds to programmes, projects, activities and events that support social causes. Donations and sponsorship are awarded via a tender application process, with priority given to projects supporting charities, art, education and science, sports, culture, economy, and ecology and environmental protection.  

This year’s recipients include sports clubs for rowing, triathlon, sailing, football, basketball and handball; charities including the local MS Society, Educational Center for Children with Disabilities and the Sukošan firefighters; and projects supporting cultural, music, literary and historical initiatives.

D-Marin is a leading operator of premium yacht marinas, with 16 marinas across Croatia, Greece, Italy, Turkey, Montenegro and the United Arab Emirates. In Croatia, D-Marin operates four marinas along the Adriatic Coast: Borik and Dalmacija near the ancient city of Zadar, Mandalina in Sibenik and Tribunj, located in the heart of the Dalmatian town. The marinas provide a fantastic gateway for exploring this stunning stretch of coastline and surrounding islands.
