Supply Grant Successes 🌊🙌

During the first quarter of 2025, we launched our Supply Grant Program which equips organizers with essential materials—reusable gloves, garbage bags, water coolers, and educational debrief posters—along with best practices to ensure safe and effective cleanups.

The response to our first wave of grants was incredible! We exhausted our budgeted funds in just two weeks. Thanks to generous donations from the Surfing Evolution License Plate and Open Water’s 2025 Sea Change Grant, we were able to award a second round of supply grants. To date, we’ve provided supplies to support over 25 organizations across Florida and beyond! In the first month, we had 30 new cleanups led by these organizers.!. 

We do this because we believe that cleanups can provide a meaningful, eye-opening experience, and when paired with educational content, can drive lasting change in reducing single-use plastics. Our investment in local leaders is designed to help build strong, grassroots communities that take care of their own neighborhoods and shorelines.
