A Legacy for the Oceans:

A Legacy for the Oceans: The Sapphire Project is a catalyst for transformative change - dedicated to raising vital funds and awareness for organisations making a tangible impact on ocean conservation. More than just a fundraising initiative, Sapphire is a rallying call for collective action: inspiring communities, celebrating innovation, and mobilising resources to safeguard a blue future.

 

Through immersive events like the Sapphire Dinner, we connect donors with bold, visionary initiatives. Together, we are building philanthropic momentum and a shared commitment to the protection of our oceans. We are deeply invested in preserving marine ecosystems. Each year we amplify our efforts - connecting local impact with global dialogue to highlight the urgent need for ocean conservation.

 

Since launching in 2021, The Sapphire Project has raised over $4 million for ocean conservation across three dinners, thanks to the generosity of individual donors. Our events have engaged more than 1,500 in-person supporters, and in 2024, our inaugural Singapore event marked the beginning of Sapphire’s international expansion. Our impact continues to grow through global partnerships with like-minded brands.

 

In 2025 and beyond, we’re not just acknowledging the crisis - we’re contributing directly to solutions. The decade from 2020 to 2030 is our window to act decisively. The legacy we create today will shape the world inherited by future generations. The time to protect what cannot be replaced is now.

The Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef Foundation is partnered with The Sapphire Project to administer and distribute raised funds including ticket sales, donations and charity proceeds to the recipient ocean organisations as nominated by the Sapphire committee.

The Great Barrier Reef Foundation’s mission is to co-create a better future for coral reefs and the people who rely on them. The Foundation collaborates to achieve breakthroughs in marine science, bring species and habitats back from the brink, pioneer new tools and catalyse new solutions. From improving water quality and invasive pest management techniques, restoring our coastal wetlands, unlocking blue carbon opportunities, and resolving coral restoration bottlenecks to prove we can restore coral reefs at scale, the Foundation is tackling the key threats facing the world’s coral reefs.

Learn more about the Foundation’s work here. If you would like to discuss your support in further detail, please reach out to giving@barrierreef.org.
