Donate to Solve a Particular Ocean Challenge
Ocean Grants is researching ten Ocean challenges to determine the most impactful organizations working to solve each of them. Your donation to this fund will be aggregated until Ocean Grants has “recommended” nonprofits for the challenge you’ve selected, at which point they will be disbursed to those Recommended Organizations. 98% of your donation will be distributed; 2% is retained by Ocean Grants to help cover our administrative costs so we can ensure all donations are given to the most effective organizations. Here is more information about our research methods. If you prefer to give directly to a plastic-focused organization, their contact information is in our directory.
Donate to Ocean Grants’ Special Report Fund
Your donation to the Ocean Grants Special Reports Fund supports our research, evaluation and validation efforts as well as the publication of our resulting Special Reports. We do an in-depth analysis of Ocean-focused nonprofits, by Ocean challenge, to determine which ones are most effectively solving a given Ocean challenge. The goal is to ensure high impact philanthropy.
Donate Your Yacht to Ocean Grants
A charitable tax deduction is a distinct advantage for yacht owners attempting to sell their vessels as it can eliminate the expenses of yacht ownership (storage, maintenance, insurance, crew costs and broker commissions), provide a tax deduction based on the appraised value of the vessel and enable owners to actively participate in restoring Ocean health.
