St. Louis Aquarium Foundation

As the nonprofit partner to the St. Louis Aquarium at Union Station, the Aquarium Foundation engages individuals through access, conservation and education programs, building powerful communities for water stewardship.

Central to our mission is a commitment to ensuring that all individuals have equal access to the educational and inspirational experiences provided by the Foundation education team. Through the generous support of donors, we are delighted to deliver "Help to Our Friends" through our H2O Friends Fund by offering free field trips, education classes, outreach programs, and bus transportation to underserved schools and community groups in our community. Together we can continue to provide an enriching educational environment for future biologists, STEM educators, and conservationists!

As a part of our commitment to water stewardship and supporting our downtown neighbors, the Aquarium Foundation hosts cleanup events along the Mississippi Greenway to prevent plastic pollution from entering the Mighty Mississippi and eventually our oceans!
