Algalita Endowment Fund
Purpose
Algalita is internationally known as the organization that started the movement to end plastic pollution. Over the span of 25 years, this small grassroots organization has sparked local and statewide legislation by showing policymakers how plastics build up in our ocean ecosystems. Algalita revolutionized the plastic pollution conversation by building a web of connections between researchers, activists, educators, and young people across the globe. While the organization continues to monitor plastic accumulation in the ocean, its main focus is to fundamentally shift our way of thinking on land. Algalita has dedicated its work to usher in the next generation of critical thinkers capable of advancing the most responsible solutions to plastic pollution. They offer a suite of experience-based programs that reach thousands of teachers and students every year. This endowed fund supports Algalita’s general operations.
