Protect Our Coast and Oceans Fund

Check the Coast at Tax Time

Enter a donation of any amount next to the Protect Our Coast and Oceans Fund tax check-off, listed in the Voluntary Contributions section on the second to the last page of your California tax return, box 424. Your contribution will be felt across California communities in the form of grants helping to clean up shorelines, restore habitats, and expand beach access. You'll help give kids the opportunity to experience the coast themselves, some for the first time.

Or, you can donate anytime by check. Learn how.
