Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.,
which operates Royal Caribbean International and Celebrity Cruises, established
the Ocean Fund in 1996 to support marine conservation organizations working to
preserve the world's oceans.
Ocean Fund grants are made to a variety of nonprofit
groups and institutions conducting activities (e.g., research, education, and
innovative technologies) directly related to marine conservation.
Grants will average between $25,000 and $50,000
each, although there is no absolute maximum, and applicants must provide proof
of their 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status.
The company will review funding requests by June 30,
and will invite select organizations to submit a formal application by
September 30. Grant recipients will be announced the following January.
Visit the program's Web site for application
information and a list of previous grant recipients.
