WE HELP PEOPLE WHO HELP THE OCEAN

The Ocean is facing unprecedented challenges, many of which threaten human survival on earth. Ocean Grants validates organizations working on significant Ocean challenges to identify the most effective nonprofits.

"The Ocean is at a tipping point and our actions over the next 10 years will determine the next 10,000 years."

-- Dr. Sylvia Earle

WHY HELP PEOPLE WHO HELP THE OCEAN?

The Ocean is critical to human survival on earth

  • Air Quality. The Ocean produces ½ of the world’s oxygen and absorbs ⅓ of human-caused carbon dioxide

  • Food. More than 3.5 billion people rely on the Ocean as their primary source of food

  • Medicine. Drugs for cancer, arthritis, Alzheimer's & heart disease come from the Ocean

  • Economics. Ocean-based businesses contribute more than $500 billion to the world’s economy

It’s time for all of us to step up and make a difference!

 

 

We believe every philanthropist wants to make a meaningful difference. The challenge is to figure out which organizations are best able to make that difference. That takes time and research. We’ve developed a methodology for identifying Ocean-focused organizations that will maximize the impact of your donation.

FOR NONPROFITS

Through fundraising and grant making, we accelerate the good work of existing nonprofits that are solving some of the Ocean's most pressing problems.

FOR DONORS

We maximize tax benefits and philanthropic planning through our Donor Advised Fund Program and publish Special Reports to ensure donor money is well placed.
