At Ocean Club Resorts, paradise isn’t just a destination – it’s a community worth investing in. Nestled on the world-renowned Grace Bay Beach, the resorts believe that travel and local impact can go hand in hand. That’s why Ocean Club Resorts proudly supports several meaningful initiatives across the Turks and Caicos Islands, helping to preserve its natural beauty, uplift the community, and create a more sustainable future for generations to come.
From working alongside local partners on reef conservation efforts to education programs and puppy rescues, Ocean Club Resorts is a part of something bigger.
Here’s how your vacation at Ocean Club Resorts can leave a lasting impression long after you leave the sand behind.
Turks & Caicos Reef Fund
Ocean Club Resorts is proud to support the Turks and Caicos Reef Fund (TCI Reef Fund), a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation and protection of the islands’ vital marine ecosystems. Our team is committed to protecting and preserving our island. Guests can participate in this mission by adding a voluntary $2 per night to their stay, with 100% of contributions going directly to the Reef Fund. These donations support local programs that our team is directly involved with, focusing on coral reef conservation, public education, and sustainable environmental practices across the Turks and Caicos Islands. Additionally, the resorts are happy to help coordinate a visit to the reef fund center where guests can learn more about the organization’s work and why this ecosystem is vital to the region.
Pack for a Purpose
Participating as an active member of the Turks and Caicos community has been a staple component for the resorts since opening doors to guests more than two decades ago. Our team consists of almost solely employees from the region and is able to both support and provide an authentic experience of what makes the Turks and Caicos Islands so special. Travelers can save a little space in their luggage to bring supplies for area schools. Our employees are passionate about investing into the local schools. Our team takes the donated supplies, hand-delivers them to the schools and offers mentorship to local students.
Race to the Conch:
This annual open water swim race allows travelers to get active in the turquoise waters of Grace Bay Beach while benefiting the local island community. Proceeds from this race support local learn-to-swim programs and initiatives to help special needs children in the outer islands. Additionally, several of our staff members offer mentorship to local
kids. As a sponsor of the annual event, participants of the race can save 15% off accommodations at Ocean Clubs Resorts with promo code RACE25.
Potcake Place
An island and traveler favorite, this non-profit is a dog rescue charity located on Providenciales. Their goal is to reduce the number of homeless dogs on the island while providing a fun way for people to interact with and potentially adopt these rescues. Found a short distance from both Ocean Club East and Ocean Club West, Potcake Place is ideal for guests looking to give back on island by caring for and socializing with these special pups. Travelers can support by donating their time at the shelter to feed, bathe, walk, and play with furry friends while spending vacation in paradise.
Employee-Led Kindness: Making a Difference Close to Home
At Ocean Club Resorts, giving back is personal. Our employees are passionate about supporting their neighbors through hands-on outreach programs across the island. Alongside our ownership group, Ocean Club Resorts employees donate food, supplies, and monetary gifts to nearby schools and elderly residents in need. But it doesn’t stop there—they also take the time to visit, share in conversations, and offer prayers and companionship to those who may feel alone. These efforts grow each year, driven by the heart and dedication of our team. For Ocean Club Resorts, it’s not just about giving—it’s about truly connecting with the Turks and Caicos Islands community.
