Inside the Outdoors Foundation is the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that supports our partners at Inside the Outdoors in their mission to build environmental literacy and provide hands-on environmental education to TK-12 students in Orange County.

Inside the Outdoors Foundation helps ensure that ITO’s programs remain accessible, engaging, and impactful for all learners. Our volunteer-driven organization raises funds to provide scholarships, underwrites program design, and supports other program-related expenses, such as the care of ITO’s animal ambassadors.
