Overview

Mission

VolunteerCleanup.org is building a grassroots movement against marine debris by facilitating impactful and educational shoreline, waterways and neighborhood cleanups. By mobilizing people to participate in these cleanups, we aim to raise awareness of the ocean trash crisis and encourage people to reduce their reliance of single use plastics.

What it reported doing in 2025

Corporate Day of Service offers local and visiting companies a meaningful, family-friendly team building experience through hands on shoreline cleanups and marine education.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
