Support Us
Make a donation.
Clean River Partners is a nonprofit, 501 (c)(3) organization that relies on support from our members to do our work for clean water.
Together, the members of Clean River Partners are our largest source of general operating funds. These dollars are critical for us to be able to explore new opportunities and partnerships, to provide a safe and functional working environment for our staff, and to be flexible and creative when working toward community building and behavior change.
A donation is a membership.
