Beach Cleanup | Before the Tide Takes It Back

Every high tide leaves a line of plastic on the sand and the next tide can pull it back out. Hard plastic like bottle caps is among the deadliest litter for seabirds. In 2025 volunteers pulled 15,561 pounds of debris off Rhode Island shores. A Beach Cleanup gift funds volunteer kits and a cleanup day on one stretch of coast. Debris is picked by hand and sorted by type and hauled to an authorized facility. In the US our own field team runs the work and in Canada our team works beside a local field partner. Only permitted rescuers handle a creature found tangled. Your account names the town and the job your gift covered within 72 hours. May ALLAH keep the sea and every creature in it safe.

What Our Donors Say
Garrett
Des Moines, Iowa
Harbor seals rest on the same sand where plastic piles up after storms. I read that in a newsletter and gave to Beach Cleanup on the website that night. My receipt arrived before I closed the tab.
Mio
Tucson, Arizona
A podcast about piping plovers on Rhode Island beaches made me curious about the litter volunteers find there. I gave in the app during my commute. The update named a town and the cleanup work within 72 hours.
Jade
Sheffield England
My son sent me a clip of horseshoe crabs coming ashore with bottles scattered behind them on the wrack line. I gave to the cleanup from my laptop. Seeing the task in my account soon after felt right.
Xiaowen
Guelph, Ontario
A news segment on manatees tangled in fishing line pushed me to look for a cleanup to fund. I donated on the website. Then I set a reminder to give again in spring.
Minseo
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
A documentary on sea otters wrapping themselves in kelp made me curious about what washes into their bays. I gave a small amount through the app. The receipt came with my donation number on top.
Harriet
Bath England
This month I gave to the Norte fire appeal for its wildlife care. I added a gift to Beach Cleanup after reading about plastic bags drifting among lion's mane jellyfish. I think the update came the next evening.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about this donation

1Which charities organize beach cleanups for wildlife?

Quenara Foundation runs beach cleanups where volunteers pick up plastic by hand before it can harm seabirds and seals. Crews keep clear of nests and leave hazardous items for a licensed waste firm.

2What does a Beach Cleanup gift pay for?

Thanks for asking. It covers volunteer kits and a shoreline cleanup day. Sorting the debris and hauling it to an authorized facility are part of it too.

3Who does the cleanup?

In the US our own field team runs every cleanup. In Canada and elsewhere our team works with a local field partner and local volunteers.

4What if volunteers find a creature tangled in line?

No one on our crew touches it. We mark the spot and call a permitted rescue network. Their travel and supply costs can come from this gift.

5Do you work near turtle or bird nests?

Marked nesting areas stay off limits and nests are never touched. We work only where the site steward says it is safe.

6Why not rake the beach with a machine?

Machine raking strips away the wrack and the small life sheltering in it. Our volunteers pick by hand with grabbers and gloves.

7What happens to needles or drums on the sand?

We leave them where they are. A licensed waste firm is told the location and collects them safely.

8Do you clean beaches that are closed?

We stay out of closed beaches and advisory zones. After a storm we start once the closure has been lifted.

9Will I get a pound count for my gift?

We sort and tally debris on site but we do not promise a weight or a count. Your update names the area and the work instead.

10When will I hear where my gift went?

Within 72 hours your account shows the town or district and the job your gift covered.

11Can I pick the beach my gift supports?

We appreciate the thought. The crew chooses the shore with the heaviest buildup and your update tells you which area it was.

12How soon does my receipt arrive?

Your receipt reaches your email the moment your donation clears. Your donation number sits at the top.

13Where can I give?

Only at quenarafoundation.com and in the Quenara app. We do not take gifts anywhere else.

14Who can I contact if I have a question?

Thank you for reaching out. Write to our support team through the contact form on the site or the help section in the app.
