DALLAS, Tx (December 6, 2016) – The Dallas Ecological Foundation (DEF), a qualified 501 (c) (3) organization, is changing its name to Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation beginning immediately. Even though their name has changed, their mission remains the same, which is "to teach outdoor education and to promote and fund conservation of wildlife worldwide."

"We are changing our name to the Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation to help set us apart from other organizations in the outdoor industry. We are excited about the future of our Outdoor Adventure program as well as our conservation efforts, but we felt that by changing our name and doing business as (dba) the Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation we would be better positioned to expand our unique Outdoor Adventures to over 350 schools by the end of our fiscal year in June 2017 and to recruit and retain over 500 schools to the program by 2018," said David Price, Chairman, Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation.

From humble beginnings in 1981, DEF has grown steadily through the years to offer its Outdoor Adventures program in hundreds of schools in states from California to Maine with more than 150,000 students participating in that time.

OTF is funded by its own programs: Wildlife Heritage Society and Guardians of the Legacy giving programs as well as by funds generated by hosting a number of revenue producing events throughout the year. These funds are dedicated to providing funds for the Outdoor Adventure program and OTF also provides funds to qualified conservation programs through grants.

"We are developing a brand that will serve the organization better as we expand and grow within the outdoor education and conservation industry in the future. We are recruiting, retaining and reactivating our hunting, angling, shooting sports and wildlife conservation heritage," concluded Price.
