Welcome to ORI

The Ocean River Institute provides support services for small environmental groups and offers individuals opportunities to make a difference.

Listen to a welcome message

The Ocean River Institute is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people and groups make a difference where they live and work through environmental stewardship and science.

We believe that many environmental issues can best be addressed by people taking action in their own communities and regions, not by large, national entities. But small, localized, or newly formed groups often need help to achieve their goals.

That's where the Ocean River Institute comes in. We maintain a network of ORI Partners, connecting them with resources and services to help them maximize their impact, expand their capacity, and weather unanticipated setbacks. ORI Actions and Events offer opportunities to make a difference, and you can volunteer to be an ORI Steward.

Hear what people are saying about ORI

“I think the work done by ORI is vital to a healthy environment."

Dylan, Norwich, CT

"I believe the work of ORI to be most important. What is more important than saving the planet, even one river at a time, which may be the only way to do it. I value what you do very much and so do a lot of people like me."

Denise, Dana Point, CA

“I applaud the efforts ORI does in protesting and righting the wrongs that greed and selfishness bring to our defenseless planet. Thank you for standing up and helping us stand with you to shout no."
