Annual Meeting & Financials

Oceana’s support comes from foundations, organizations and individuals in more than 150 countries. Oceana benefits not only from cash contributions, but also from generous in-kind contributions of goods and services.

Oceana’s board and staff are grateful to our contributors, whose support is essential to our campaigns to preserve ocean life. Due to our donors’ generosity, Oceana had a successful year financially in 2008. Oceana received revenue and support of more than $16.8 million, including the release of time- and program-restricted gifts for which commitments had been received in prior years.

Oceana continues to benefit from significant multi-year grant commitments, which is a major reason why Oceana ended the year with just over $22 million in net assets. Oceana’s support comes from foundations, other organizations including select corporations, and individuals from more than 150 countries.

Expenses were approximately $16.2 million in 2008. Of every dollar of expenses, approximately 79.6 cents were spent directly on Oceana’s programs. The remainder was spent on general and administrative costs (about 10.5 cents) and raising funds (about 9.9 cents).

Oceana, Inc. is tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, so contributions may be tax-deductible.  Please contact Oceana at the address below for information on making gifts to Oceana, for a copy of its audited financial statement, or for other inquiries.
