Clean Rivers, Healthy Oceans: Your Gift Makes a Difference

Frequently Asked Questions

Is The Great Bubble Barrier a non-profit or ANBI?

No, The Great Bubble Barrier operates as a social enterprise.

We chose this model instead of a non-profit in order to blend our mission of tackling plastic pollution with the flexibility and sustainability of a business model.

By functioning as a limited company (Besloten Vennootschap – B.V.) in the Netherlands, we can attract investments, foster continuous innovation, and more effectively scale our impact. This structure allows us to generate revenue, reinvest in our technology, and expand our reach to clean more rivers worldwide.

As a social enterprise, we stay true to our environmental mission while ensuring financial sustainability, which ultimately enhances our ability to make a long-term difference in the fight against plastic pollution. Our commitment to the mission of plastic-free rivers is legally embedded in our founding principles and investment approach.

Can I get a tax donation receipt for my donation?

The Great Bubble Barrier is a social enterprise and not a registered non-profit or ANBI. Unfortunately, we can't issue tax donation receipts for donations. All donations are treated as normal income/revenue for tax purposes.

  • To implement Bubble Barrier projects
  • To run campaigns to increase awareness about plastic pollution, and advocate for policy change
