Our mission is to achieve plastic-free waters by advancing innovative solutions, investing in new technologies, and supporting community-driven initiatives. Through the Genius Prize national competitive award, we spark innovation for transformative solutions. Your support will help us educate the next generation and fund high-impact solutions to prevent and remove marine debris that threatens fisheries and coastal communities.
As a public-private partnership supported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration (NOAA), MDF can often match your donation, dollar-for-dollar, with government funding–instantly doubling the impact of your financial support.
