Preserving Our Blue Planet: Why Giving Through Jewelry Supports The Ocean Foundation

At Giving Through Jewelry, we believe every purchase can help create meaningful change. Each month, we feature a nonprofit organization making a powerful impact in the world and donate 10% of sales to the charity of the buyer’s choice. This month, we are honored to spotlight The Ocean Foundation, an incredible organization dedicated to reversing the trend of destruction of ocean environments around the world.

When you choose a handmade piece from Giving Through Jewelry this month, you are actively helping to improve global ocean health, climate resilience, and the blue economy.
The Only Community Foundation for the Ocean

Our ocean produces at least every second breath we take and covers 71% of the earth’s surface. Because the ocean transcends all geographic boundaries, The Ocean Foundation operates with a truly global community in mind. They stand as the only community foundation uniquely dedicated to the ocean, bringing together a vast network of scientists, policymakers, and conservationists.

Their mission is to support, strengthen, and promote organizations that are fighting to protect our marine environments. By focusing collective expertise on emerging threats, they generate cutting-edge solutions to keep our oceans vibrant and healthy.
Bridging the Philanthropy Gap

Historically, the ocean has received a disproportionately small amount of environmental grantmaking, accounting for less than 1% of all overall philanthropy. For over two decades, The Ocean Foundation has worked tirelessly to bridge this massive funding gap. By directing essential resources to the communities and projects that need it most, they ensure every dollar stretches further for marine science and conservation.

Thanks to this targeted support, The Ocean Foundation funds a highly diverse portfolio of projects. This includes essential protection work for marine mammals, sea turtles, and sharks, as well as the restoration of critical habitats like coral reefs, mangrove forests, and seagrass beds.
Driving Meaningful Global Initiatives

The Ocean Foundation’s work spans the globe, tackling some of the most pressing marine challenges of our time. Through their Blue Resilience Initiative, they rally support to restore coastal ecosystems, which helps decrease pollution and increase climate resilience. They also lead the charge in understanding and fighting ocean acidification so that vulnerable marine ecosystems can survive rapidly changing conditions.

Additionally, their ambitious efforts target the global plastic crisis, working to reduce plastic and microplastic pollution in our waterways to protect both human and environmental health.
