Our History
Thirty years ago, leaders in Iowa’s conservation space saw the need for a private entity that could complement the efforts of public partners working to steward natural resources and enhance outdoor recreation. The Great Outdoors Foundation was born out of a desire to activate transformational quality of life initiatives and develop dynamic solutions for significant environmental opportunities. Over the course of its existence, the Great Outdoors Foundation has evolved to become a premier thought leader and self-proclaimed, “happy disrupter,” seeking new and nontraditional ways to solve complex conservation issues.
