Get Involved
You can help orangutans and tropical forests by supporting the Orangutan Foundation International (OFI)! There are many ways that you can get involved with OFI and help us save wild orangutans and their tropical rain forest habitat. Whatever your strengths, passions, resources and motivations, we depend on people like you to keep our urgent conservation and animal welfare efforts strong and effective.

Donating to OFI
As a 501(c)3 non-profit charity, OFI depends almost entirely on your donations – every little bit counts. There are many ways to donate to our foundation: become a member, foster an orphan orangutan, sponsor the purchase of Rawa Kuno Legacy Forest acres, donate appreciated stocks, secure a matching corporate gift from your employer, or shop at our online merchandise store.

Foster an Orphan Orangutan
Rehabilitation is a long and expensive process. By fostering an orphan orangutan you will ensure that they get a chance to return to the wild.
Sponsor an acre (or more) in Rawa Kuno Legacy ForestYour generous sponsorship support will ensure the permanent protection of the 6,400-acre Rawa Kuno Legacy Forest, safeguard an existing population of wild orangutans, and create a much-needed sanctuary for the release of orphaned and rehabilitated orangutans back to the wild. Let this be your legacy!

Visiting us in Borneo
Join our exclusive 7-day tour with Dr. Biruté Mary Galdikas. Your journey will take you deep into Tanjung Puting National Park to see wild and rehabilitated orangutans, with Dr. Galdikas as your personal naturalist and storyteller. You will also get the unique opportunity to visit the OFI Care Center and Quarantine where you will meet orphan orangutans in the care of OFI.

Volunteering for OFI
Volunteers are a crucial component of OFI’s workforce. Whatever your background and experience, put your special skills to use by dedicating your time to OFI. You can volunteer for a long-term or short-term commitment, in Borneo or right from your home.

Educating the community about OFI’s mission
It is vital that we raise awareness about the wonder of orangutans and the priceless value of their rain forest habitat. There are many ways that you can spread the word about OFI and educate the community about the need to save orangutans from extinction in the wild and their tropical rain forest habitat from annihilation.

Shop at the online OFI Merchandise Store
In addition to our Zazzle store, we have t-shirts, mugs, photos, even U.S. postage stamps bearing the OFI logo–and much more! When you purchase merchandise from our store, a portion of your payment is donated directly to OFI. Using and wearing OFI items will help to spread awareness about OFI and the struggle to save wild orangutans and their rainforest habitat.
