The Ocean Cleanup has a registered foundation in the Netherlands (Stichting The Ocean Cleanup). For US donors, you can donate to American Friends of The Ocean Cleanup, a US based 501(c)(3) charity supporting the same mission.
If you donate through the website, you will receive an automated receipt.
If you donated by making a bank/wire transfer and would like a receipt, we can make one for you manually. You can contact us via our contact form specifying the following details:
Full name
Date of donation
Full postal address
Donation method (ie. Visa, PayPal, Bank Transfer)
Donation made to the Dutch bank account or to American Friends of The Ocean Cleanup
After verifying your donation with this information, a receipt will be created for you. Please note that this is a manual process, and therefore we ask for your patience in advance.
