As the nonprofit partner to OdySea Aquarium, the OdySea Aquarium Foundation seeks to educate, engage, enrich, and inspire all ages to conserve and protect our planet.
Serving as the mainspring of our education and community outreach programs, these three core initiatives guide us in all we do.
The core initiatives of the OdySea Aquarium Foundation are:
EDUCATION
Provide access to underserved students through field trips with meaningful nature experiences that enhance their academic and imaginative potential through hands-on, experiential learning.
Our Core Program provides scholarship opportunities for low-income, underserved communities, including Arizona’s Title 1 school classrooms, to experience a unique, immersive day of education at OdySea Aquarium.

CONSERVATION
Committed to supporting a variety of programs at the local, regional, and global level to educate and inspire others about aquatic life and conservation initiatives.
OdySea Aquarium Foundation is proud to support conservation education through its Conservation Expo.
CARE
Foster a community of care through outreach programs and opportunities that extend our ability to educate, serve and collaborate.
As the OdySea Aquarium’s nonprofit partner, OdySea Aquarium Foundation relies on contributions from members, community partners and friends to provide exceptional education and conservation programs that inspire change to protect and conserve our aquatic resources.
