American Whitewater’s 2016 Summer Appeal
Posted: 06/06/2016
By: Evan Stafford
American Whitewater works to protect and restore whitewater rivers across the country, and we
rely on your ongoing support to keep us going strong. Your membership dollars and donations
support our river conservation, access and safety work on the rivers that you love. Each
membership dollar that AW receives is leveraged to generate $4 in total funding
directed at supporting river stewardship.
Twice each year, we reach out to you to ask that you become a member or renew your membership to
American Whitewater, or to consider making a tax-deductible donation.
Please take a moment to see what your contribution will support next year in our 2016 Summer
Appeal.
From securing protections under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act and restoring flows to rivers
impacted by hydropower, to advocating for removing deadbeat dams, protecting flows threatened by
water resource projects and our access and safety work, we've got our work cut out for us in
2016. As a whitewater lover and fierce defender of rivers, your support is more
important than ever to help us see these
projects through.
Rest assured, your donations will support river stewardship projects across the country
throughout 2016. American Whitewater recently received our sixth straight 4-Star Rating (the
highest possible) from Charity
Navigator for our financial practices and transparency. Only 3% of the charities
Charity Navigator rates have received at least five consecutive 4-star evaluations, showing that
American Whitewater outperforms most other charities in
America.
Please take a look at our Summer
Appeal, and consider making a tax-deductible donation or joining American Whitewater
today! The team at AW thanks you, and so do the rivers!
