Turtle Box Foundation
We're building a community of turtle conservation through education, research, and exploration. Our three initiatives work together to create lasting impact: empowering women in STEM to shape conservation's future, funding vital turtle research and protection projects, and connecting veterans with the serene underwater world of sea turtles. Join us in our mission to protect these remarkable creatures while inspiring the next generation of conservation leaders.
STEM College Scholarships for Women
We provide scholarships to female students pursuing undergraduate STEM degrees. Our scholarships aim to empower women in STEM fields by supporting students who demonstrate academic excellence in their pursuit of higher education.
Turtlely Awesome Grant
We award one-time grants to researchers and students studying any aspect of turtle biology, behavior, or conservation. Our grants support projects focused on both sea turtles and land turtles.
Operation Turtle Shield for Veterans
We provide grants to veterans pursuing their basic scuba diving certification (Open Water Diver). Our program aims to empower veterans by connecting them with underwater exploration opportunities while covering costs for training, certification, and basic equipment needs.
Community Impact Pool
Beyond our core missions, we maintain a flexible Community Impact Pool for one-time grants to various non-profits and causes that align with our values. This allows us to respond to emerging needs and support diverse initiatives throughout the year.
