Ocean Crusaders Foundation Trust
Low
Annual Giving
$25K
Grant Range
$1K – $100K
Tips for Applicants
This is not a traditional grant-making foundation—it conducts direct cleanup operations rather than funding external projects. Potential partners should approach with specific sponsorship proposals for cleanup events or equipment. The organization appears to lack formal open grant programs.
Giving Philosophy
Ocean Crusaders operates on a direct-action model—physically removing debris from waterways rather than funding other organizations. They believe in tackling marine pollution at the source (rivers and waterways) before it reaches the ocean, and emphasize certified debris data tracking through their Debris Registry to demonstrate impact.

Financial Details
Source of Wealth
Unable to determine wealth source for founder(s); the organization appears to be funded primarily through donations, corporate partnerships, and potentially social enterprise activities (eco store, community impact units).
