Our Collaborations

Charity Partnership: Turn Connection Into Impact

Artists, Venues & Events

Transform moments of connection into direct support for Ocean conservation through donation-based partnerships. From $1 per ticket to percentage-of-sales models, we work with artists, tours, festivals, and brands to seamlessly integrate giving into experiences. These partnerships are designed to be simple, scalable, and measurable, driving meaningful funding for Ocean solutions.

Featured Collaboration: Chris Lake

In 2025, electronic music artist and Oceanic Global ambassador Chris Lake partnered with PLUS1 to support Oceanic Global during his latest tour. By selecting Oceanic Global as the benefitting nonprofit, $1 from every ticket sold went directly to support Oceanic Global’s work to protect and restore the Ocean.
