MCP is a non-profit organisation. We have no investors or shareholders to generate revenue for, but we must ensure our continued operation. Although we occasionally recieve small donations and are supported by purpose-specific grants, by and large we’re funded through volunteer payments. Noone pays the water or electrical bill for us and there’s a very real cost to employing people, keeping the kitchen running, repaying loans, replacing broken gear, fueling cars, paying rent and utilities, PADI fees and insurance all besides running a safe dive operation. Excess money go to pro-bono work in the community, reinvestment in material and equipment for Marine Conservation Philippines as well as our contingency saving fund. If you are interested, you may take a closer look at how we spend the money here.
