The Foundation's sole charitable activity is to provide grants to organisations and initiatives that deliver measurable, lasting impact for the protection and restoration of ocean health, freshwater ecosystems, and clean water access. Our income comes primarily from net gains generated by our owned company and brands, with 100% of proceeds reinvested into expanding our grant-giving capacity – as well as donations.
