Rethink Outside: Let’s tell a new story.

Nature connects us. Stories bring that connection to life.

Rethink Outside, flagship initiative of Blue Sky Funders Forum, advances a shared vision: that everyone deserves access to the health benefits, joy, and community connection that come from time outside.

Through narrative research, training, and storytelling, we help funders and partners communicate across sectors. From health and early childhood to climate and community wellbeing, we work to strengthen cross-sector collaboration and fuel private and public investment in outdoor access.

Rethink Outside with us.
