We are now looking to bridge the funding from System 001 to scale-up. With your help we can continue our research, improve our system and accelerate the largest cleanup in history.
If you are interested in funding your own cleanup system or making a large contribution, please contact us through funding@theoceancleanup.com.
Donations
Donations can be made to 2 registered foundations. Euros can be donated to Stichting The Ocean Cleanup (an ANBI foundation registered in the Netherlands) and US dollars can be donated to The Ocean Cleanup North Pacific Foundation(a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit foundation registered in the USA). Both foundations pursue the same goal.
Donations via credit cards, Paypal and other online methods can be made using the online donation form on the right to both foundations. For donations via other methods such as checks or direct payments please see the FAQ below.
If you prefer to pay by check in US dollars, please make payment out to our USA foundation, The Ocean Cleanup North Pacific Foundation, and mail to:

(Donation certificates are only required for federal & state taxes purposes for donations of USD 250 or higher)
We accept donations in Euro or US Dollar amounts, because we can receive these without paying conversion fees. The donations form on this page provides these currencies only and your payment will be converted automatically by the payment provider if your account has another currency. We will try to facilitate donations in other currencies in the future.
