Seabin Foundation Limited
Tips for Applicants
The foundation does not appear to run a traditional grant program. They are not currently accepting direct donations, instead directing supporters to purchase Seabin data/sponsorship products through seabin.io. Those interested in partnership should focus on their citizen science, education, or corporate data day programs rather than grant applications.
Giving Philosophy
The foundation believes knowledge combined with meaningful experiences drives environmental change. Their theory of change centers on a dual approach: reactive solutions (cleaning up existing pollution) combined with preventative education to stop plastic at the source. They emphasize data-driven storytelling through their Pollution Index™ to inform litter prevention campaigns and policy advocacy.
