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.
When you join Clean River Partners as a member, you’re joining a community that supports:
Farmers in implementing conservation practices. Research and market development for crops that are better for the environment and more resilient to climate change.
Skill-building, hosted experiences, and other inspiring events to take action for clean water.
Education for kids and families about keeping trash and pollutants from entering our rivers and lakes.
Community conversations about our river and how it connects us.
Besides the added benefit of supporting a river-friendly community, some member benefits include:
Monthly e-newsletter with project updates, success stories, and event information.
Advance notice of special events and forums.
Voting privileges at our annual meeting in the spring.
