As a business owner, you likely already support at least one nonprofit. We hope you take just a moment to consider why supporting the Plastic Ocean Project would be good for your business:
- Show your customers and employees you care about your community and the planet.
- Boost your brand, attract new talent and instill confidence in your current clientele.
- Attract new clients and customers. 70% of millennials (those born between 1981 and 1996) report that they gravitate toward and spend more on businesses that support environmental causes (Forbes).
- Make valuable connections by giving back to your community.
- Build consumer trust. 90% of consumers trust businesses that address social and environmental issues by supporting nonprofits (WSJ).
What do our current sponsors have to say?
"This environmental organization is a favorite of mine, not only because of the importance of its mission and the passion of its leaders, but also because the culture of the organization is to try to support other worthy environmental organizations. So it is the exact opposite of too many silo environmental organizations." - Jack Spruill, Spruill Farm Conservation Project
"As a business that focuses on solutions to the plastic pollution crisis, we love that the Plastic Ocean Project shares our mindset. Their focus on scientifically-based solutions, raising awareness and supporting education efforts are a perfect match for our mission of reducing single-use plastic in the world." - Lindsey McCoy, Plaine Products
