American Whitewater is supported by members and major donors. The key to long-term success is the strong backing of our supporters; it is only through your support that we can continue to tackle sticky ongoing conservation and access issues. As we all know, no other group understands the headwater reaches of major river systems better than paddlers. It’s that intimate knowledge that provides relevance to our river stewardship efforts and helps to keep the conversation real with policy makers and river managers.
