Our History and Relationships with the WDC Minimize

The Friends of the Waterfront began its existence as the Marketing and Community Involvement Committee of the WDC Board. In November 1988, this committee was "spun-off" from the WDC and Friends was founded. In 1991, Friends incorporated as a separate nonprofit organization and applied for and received tax exempt status.

We continue to have a close relationship with the WDC, including the following:

  • Representatives of WDC staff are ex-officio members of our Board.
  • The President of Friends is an ex-officio member of the WDC Board.
  • The WDC staff assists with our administrative needs.
  • We generally meet in the WDC offices.
  • We are invited to WDC events.
