Where passion for the planet meets purposeful action
About Us
Protecting The World’s Blue, Green, and Gray in All That Matters
The Okavango Foundation was started by the Keefe family, driven by the mission to restore and protect the health of the planet, including the animals and humans who call this world home. Each year, our foundation provides donations to nonprofits and organizations that further our mission.
An urgent mission to safeguard our oceans and waterways, the beating heart of Earth’s ecosystems. From pristine streams to vast oceans, our commitment goes beyond preservation—it’s about revitalization.
