Reef Guardians Circle
Why Monthly Giving Matters for Coral
Coral restoration isn't seasonal work. Our teams in Cebu operate year-round, monitoring restored colonies, training local divers, and conducting research that improves every new intervention. Traditional one-time donations help, but monthly gifts let us:
Plan confidently
We know our budget for next month's fieldwork and can invest in long-term experiments.
Support a local team
Your recurring contribution ensures steady work for marine scientists and dive operations staff in the Philippines.
Adapt to what reefs need
Seasonal changes, water temperatures, and unexpected challenges require flexible, ongoing resources.
Build institutional knowledge
Consistent funding means better training, better protocols, and better results over time.
When you become a Reef Guardian, you're not just donating—you're becoming part of a team that thinks in years, not campaigns.
Your Impact at Every Level

Questions
What if I can't sustain my donation?
No problem. Life changes. Pause anytime—your Reef Guardian status is waiting if you want to resume. Many supporters reduce their gift during tough months and increase it later.
How is my donation used?
Your monthly gift covers fieldwork, local team salaries, scientific monitoring, equipment, and training. We invest lean and reinvest surplus into expanding our operations. Quarterly updates show where your money goes.
Can I make a one-time gift instead?
Absolutely—one-time donations are welcome and impactful. But monthly giving lets us do more predictable, ambitious work. The choice is yours.
Do you operate in the US or just the Philippines?
We operate field stations in the Philippines (Mactan, Cebu) in partnership with local marine scientists. Our team and board are globally distributed, including the U.S. All donations from U.S. donors are tax-deductible.
Is my donation tax deductible?
Yes. Reef Without Borders is a registered 501(c)(3), and your receipt arrives by email. Our EIN is 42-2691547.
