Oceana is campaigning to protect important habitats in Mexico and the Philippines thanks to the generous support of Sobrato Philanthropies, which contributed $2.2 million to Oceana’s campaigns. Sobrato Philanthropies is the charitable arm of the Sobrato Organization, a multi-generational, family-owned real estate firm founded by John A. Sobrato in 1979.
Sobrato Philanthropies primarily funded initiatives that create educational and economic opportunities for underserved communities in California’s Silicon Valley. Investing in international ocean conservation may seem like an unexpected addition, but Sobrato Philanthropies Board Member Eric Brisson drew parallels between Oceana’s approach and some of the strategies their partners have used over the years.
