The Orang Utan Republik Foundation (OURF), also known as TOP-USA, is a California-based nonprofit established to support orangutan conservation through education and collaborative projects. Originating in 2004 as the Orang Utan Republik Education Initiative, the organization operates as a publicly funded 501(c)(3) and serves as a chapter of The Orangutan Project in Australia. OURF funds initiatives such as the Orangutan Caring Foundation of Indonesia’s Mobile Education and Conservation Unit, which engages schools, universities, villages, government offices, and public venues to raise awareness about orangutans and practical conservation actions. The foundation also collaborates with Indonesian partners to administer conservation programs and scholarships in Indonesia and Malaysia through TOP, focusing on outreach, education, and capacity-building to address the threats facing wild orangutans. The organization is based in Santa Monica, California, and employs a small team to coordinate its activities and partnerships.
