Confidence, Made Accessible for All

Established to expand access to adaptive swimwear and support confidence-building initiatives.

The Empowear Foundation exists to extend our mission beyond swimwear. Rooted in Cleveland, Ohio, we are committed to investing in the communities that inspire us. We support initiatives that restore confidence, increase access to adaptive design, and celebrate resilience. Through strategic partnerships and purpose-driven collections, we turn empowerment into action.

Why your support matters

Access

Your support helps expand access to thoughtfully designed adaptive swimwear for individuals who may not otherwise have it.

Service

Through veteran-focused partnerships, we honor those who serve and provide meaningful support to military families.

Community

Every initiative strengthens a growing network built on visibility, dignity, and shared confidence.

Partner Program: USS Cleveland Legacy Foundation

Cleveland, Ohio is city defined by resilience, strength, and community pride. That spirit comes to life through our partnership with the USS Cleveland Legacy Foundation and the launch of the USS Cleveland Collection.

The USS Cleveland (LCS-31) is the fourth United States Navy ship to carry the Cleveland name and will be the first commissioned in the city itself in 2026. This historic milestone unites service members, families, veterans, and civic leaders in celebration of Cleveland’s enduring legacy.

A portion of proceeds from every USS Cleveland Collection suit directly supports the Foundation’s efforts to provide resources, programming, and ongoing support to LCS-31 shipmates and their families throughout active service.
