Marine Conservation & Coral Reef Restoration Donation Form

Protect Our Oceans with Marine Conservation Funding

Our oceans are in crisis. Coral reefs—often called the "rainforests of the sea"—are disappearing at an alarming rate due to climate change, pollution, and unsustainable practices. But there's hope. With your support, we can restore damaged reefs, fund critical research expeditions, and organize ocean cleanup initiatives that make a real difference.

This Marine Conservation & Coral Reef Restoration Donation Form makes it simple for marine conservation organizations, ocean advocacy nonprofits, and environmental foundations to collect donations, manage dive site adoptions, and fund research expeditions—all in one beautiful, streamlined form.

Why Paperform for Marine Conservation Fundraising?

Traditional donation platforms often feel impersonal and limiting. Paperform changes that by giving your organization a flexible, brand-aligned fundraising form that works as hard as your mission does. Whether you're a small grassroots ocean conservation group or an established marine research institute, Paperform helps you collect donations, share your impact, and build lasting relationships with supporters.

Here's what makes Paperform perfect for marine nonprofits:

Accept donations seamlessly: Connect Stripe, PayPal, Square, or other payment processors to accept one-time donations, recurring monthly support, or dive site adoption fees. Your supporters can choose exactly how they want to help—whether that's a $25 contribution toward ocean cleanup supplies or a $5,000 research expedition sponsorship.

Tell your story visually: Ocean conservation is visual. With Paperform's doc-style editor, you can embed stunning underwater photography, reef restoration videos, and impact infographics directly into your donation form. Show donors the coral nurseries they're helping to plant, the dive sites they can adopt, or the research vessels they're funding. When people see the beauty they're protecting, they're more likely to give generously.

Offer multiple giving options: Not every supporter can adopt an entire dive site, but they might sponsor a coral fragment, fund a cleanup dive, or support general operations. This template lets donors choose from multiple conservation initiatives, add optional merchandise or membership upgrades, and even cover processing fees—giving them agency over their impact.

Automate donor communications with Stepper: Once someone donates, keeping them engaged is crucial. Use Stepper—Paperform's AI-native workflow automation tool—to automatically send personalized thank-you emails, issue tax receipts, update your CRM, add donors to specific email lists based on their giving level, and trigger dive site adoption certificates. Stepper connects Paperform to your existing tools (Mailchimp, HubSpot, Airtable, Slack, and thousands more) so your small team can focus on conservation work, not administrative tasks.

Branded, professional fundraising pages: Your donation form is often the first touchpoint potential supporters have with your organization. Paperform lets you create on-brand forms with custom fonts, colors, ocean-themed backgrounds, and embedded media that reflect the beauty and urgency of marine conservation. Host your form on your own domain or embed it seamlessly into your website—no developer required.

Who Is This Form For?

This marine conservation donation template is designed for:

• Marine conservation nonprofits managing coral restoration programs
• Ocean advocacy organizations running cleanup and research initiatives
• Dive operators and marine tourism businesses with conservation missions
• Marine research institutes seeking expedition and project funding
• Environmental foundations supporting ocean health programs

Real-World Use Cases

Coral reef restoration programs: Offer donors the chance to sponsor coral fragments, adopt sections of reef, or fund entire restoration sites. Include photos and GPS coordinates of dive sites, and use conditional logic to show different giving levels based on donor interest.

Research expedition funding: Share upcoming research trips—shark tagging in the Bahamas, coral bleaching studies in the Great Barrier Reef, or plastic pollution surveys in the Pacific Gyre—and let supporters fund specific expeditions or contribute to a general research fund.

Ocean cleanup initiatives: Present cleanup projects by location (coastline, open ocean, reef sites) and let donors choose where their contribution makes the most impact. Add calculations to show how much marine debris their donation can help remove.

Dive site adoption programs: Create a sense of ownership by letting divers and ocean lovers "adopt" specific reef sites. Include adoption tiers with benefits like site naming rights, progress updates, and exclusive dive trip invitations.

Enhance Your Impact with Papersign

For larger donations or corporate sponsorships, you may need signed agreements outlining naming rights, recognition levels, or multi-year commitments. Papersign—Paperform's eSignature solution—lets you turn donation form submissions into sponsorship agreements that can be signed digitally, creating a seamless experience from initial interest to signed contract. Perfect for securing major gifts, planned giving agreements, or research partnership MOUs.

Built for Nonprofits Who Need More Than Basic Forms

Most donation platforms are either too simple (offering just a button and an amount field) or too complex (requiring developers and expensive enterprise plans). Paperform sits in the sweet spot: powerful enough to handle complex giving structures, conditional logic, and payment processing, yet simple enough for your development coordinator or volunteer marketing team to own and update.

You get SOC 2 Type II compliance and GDPR-friendly data handling, so donor information is secure. Plus, with over 30,000 templates and integrations with tools nonprofits already use (Google Sheets, Mailchimp, Salesforce, Slack, Airtable), Paperform becomes the central hub for your fundraising operations.

Transparent Pricing, Generous Features

Paperform offers straightforward pricing with no hidden fees or percentage-based takes on donations (beyond standard payment processor fees). Start with the Essentials plan for growing nonprofits or move up to Pro for advanced integrations and higher submission volumes. Agency+ plans are perfect for conservation networks managing multiple projects or chapters, and Enterprise offers custom data residency, SSO, and compliance controls for larger institutions.

Make Every Donation Count

Ocean conservation can't wait. The marine ecosystems we depend on are under threat, but passionate donors, divers, and ocean advocates are ready to help—they just need an easy, inspiring way to contribute. This Paperform template gives you everything you need to turn concern into action, one donation at a time.

Whether you're planting coral fragments in the Caribbean, removing ghost nets from Pacific reefs, or funding groundbreaking marine research, Paperform helps you raise more, engage deeper, and protect our oceans for generations to come.
