Open Space Institute (OSI) is a national conservation leader dedicated to protecting land for the benefit of people and nature. Since its founding in 1974, OSI has partnered in the preservation of over 2. 3 million acres across the Eastern US and Canada.

The organization focuses on safeguarding land for clean drinking water, public recreation, healthy communities, wildlife habitat, and climate protection. OSI employs strategic conservation methods to ensure the long-term preservation of intact forests and floodplains, which play a crucial role in carbon capture and climate resilience. In addition to land protection, OSI is committed to promoting accessibility to protected areas and fostering science-based conservation practices among fellow land trusts and government leaders.

OSI's programs and focus areas include accelerating land protection through conservation capital, improving parks to enhance visitor experiences and environmental sustainability, and catalyzing grassroots efforts aligned with their mission. By conserving land and partnering with local and state governments, OSI contributes to the expansion and enhancement of parks and recreation areas. To support OSI's important work and contribute to the creation of accessible parks, wildlife habitats, and thriving communities, individuals can make tax-deductible donations.
