Double your impact for Katmai's brown bears and salmon! Donate to the Otis Fund through October 3rd, and our friends at explore will match your contribution up to $350,000.

Despite spanning 4 million acres of wild rivers, volcanoes, and rugged coastline, Katmai National Park and Preserve remains one of our least funded Parks. Our annual Fat Bear Week fundraiser, the Otis Fund, helps bridge that gap by providing critical funding for Park staff and infrastructure, research projects, tribal coordination, youth education, wildlife conservation, and much more.

Be sure to join us on October 3rd at 4 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. AK for our annual online Fat Bear Fundraiser Celebration. Tune in to explore.org’s Brooks Live Events channel as we honor this year’s Fat Bear Week champion and explore the vital work of Katmai Conservancy in supporting Katmai National Park and Preserve.
