Support the Outdoors Alliance for Kids

OAK is a national strategic partnership of organizations from diverse sectors with a common interest in connecting children, youth, and families with the outdoors. OAK believes that all children and youth should have the opportunity and encouragement to play outside, touch soil, feel rain, watch leaves fall, sleep under the stars, count waves, eat food fresh from the garden, roll down a hill, catch a fish, and enjoy the satisfaction of climbing to the top of a hill or a tree. Such simple acts create a pathway to an appreciation for nature and wildlife, an active and healthy outdoor lifestyle, and a sustained relationship with the natural world.

OAK’s members are brought together by the belief that the well-being of current and future generations, the health of our planet and communities, and the economy of the future depend on humans having a personal, direct, and lifelong relationship with nature and the outdoors. OAK brings together more than 100 businesses and nonprofit organizations to connect kids with nature. This work includes policy advocacy at the federal, state, and local levels to ensure kids and communities have opportunities and resources to get outdoors everywhere they live, learn, and play, including on America’s rich network of protected public lands, waters, and shores.

The Sierra Club is the 501(c)(4) fiscal sponsor for OAK.

Frequently asked questions
Is my donation tax-deductible?

No. As a C4 non-profit organization, our donations allow us to lobby for environmental protections and to litigate against our biggest threats. However, this tax distinction — while giving us a broader range to enact change — also restricts gifts from being tax deductible.

How can I see how my donation is being used?

86¢ of every dollar donated goes straight to the implementation of conservation programs. This can include campaigns to protect and restore habitats, lobbying for environmental justice, and litigating against entities that are destroying our land, air, and water.
