Submit Your Ocean Organisation

We focus on supporting Australian-based ocean conservation charities and each year we will select up to four partners.  The area of focus will be either geographically or themed-based. Ocean partners must be Australian-run charitable organisations with a DGR1 status. 

The Charity Selection Sub-Committee will provide a recommendation on the year’s focus taking into consideration the UN World Oceans Day messaging. Our chosen charities need to align and support the messaging as well as demonstrate accountability and impact. The Sapphire Project looks favourably upon the following factors for funding:

  • Conservation/restoration Scalability

  • Addressing climate change

  • Projects that may not otherwise attract funding

  • Impact

  • Equity

  • Urgency

  • First Nations
