Our Ocean Funds
Field of Interest
Funds at The Ocean Foundation, called Ocean
Funds, are very similar to the philanthropic
equivalent of a Mutual Fund: it is
a portfolio,
or collection, of individual grants managed
by experts in the
subject area
according to a specific objective spelled
out in the fund's
prospectus.
Investing in a TOF Ocean Fund is an
efficient way to pool your resources
with other
individuals who have similar goals. This
collectively increases
your philanthropic
impact and allows for the employment of a
professional advisor.
With a professional
TOF manager to allocate and monitor the
fund's resources, you
have far more
leverage and impact than if each donor were
to try to identify the
best projects
in the field and donate their funds
directly to those projects. All of our
Ocean Funds make grants by invitation only, and
do not entertain unsolicited
requests.
