Our role connecting donors with R&D performers to help secure a future for coral reefs

Join our mission to save the world’s corals

The ingenuity, talent, and drive to develop new approaches to saving corals and reefs for humanity is out there – but expanded resources are required for a sustainable success and we need to treble our funding to enable the work that needs to be done.

By investing in urgently needed novel solutions to restore and secure corals and reefs for future generations, those funding our work would also support the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Our donors contribute to achieving CORDAP’s mission through one-time or ongoing financial support. This support is essential to the continued success of the organization and allows CORDAP to carry out its work in communities around the world. We are grateful for the generosity of our contributors and the impact they have on the lives of those we serve.
