Behind every coral restored, every discovery made, and every breakthrough achieved, there are donors who believe in what we do.

CORDAP’s achievements are made possible by the generous support of our funders and donors.

Their trust in our mission and expertise makes everything possible — helping us give reefs, and the communities that depend on them, a fighting chance.

Today, with their support, we are funding 45 projects across the globe and have committed more than US$ 38 million to coral research, restoration, and innovation. These investments are not only advancing science but also building hope and resilience for future human generations.

We are deeply grateful to our donors for their confidence, collaboration, and unwavering commitment to protecting the world’s coral reefs.

Key funders

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

We are profoundly grateful for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s generous pledge of approximately US$ 10 million per year for the period 2020–2030. Delivered through the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture, this foundational support has enabled us to begin delivering on our mission and ensures that all additional funds raised can be directed entirely to our programs.

King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST)

Since 2021, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) has fully funded and supported CORDAP’s administrative costs. KAUST has also provided in-kind resources for our operational activities, including high-level international and awareness events, and the promotion and hosting of scoping studies to identify strategic research areas for investment.

Impact investors

To fully realize our vision

 … and be able to fund groundbreaking scientific innovations that help secure a safe future
for corals, we require at least US$ 30 million annually over the next decade. However, we
currently face a funding gap of US$ 20 million. Our efforts are crucial not only for restoring some of the most diverse marine ecosystems but also for protecting coastal communities from the devastating impacts of storms and floods, ensuring that corals and coral reefs can be enjoyed by future generations.
