We Need YOU! Support Our Stewardship Work in 2019
Posted: 12/03/2018
By: Evan Stafford
American Whitewater is set to come out swinging in 2019, protecting rivers and access, restoring
flows, and creating new ways to provide the beta you need to get out and paddle, but we
can’t do it without your ongoing support to keep our
work on track. American Whitewater is your true bipartisan river recreation and conservation
organization working for your interests and creating opportunities for you to spend time on the
river. We know that protecting and restoring rivers, and
our access to them, creates more opportunities to
spend time on the river, and we believe that when we spend more time with rivers, we become
better stewards of rivers.
Your membership
dollars and donations
will support our conservation efforts from protecting large landscapes and the whitewater rivers
that flow through them to securing protections under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, restoring
flows to rivers impacted by hydropower to advocating for removing deadbeat dams, and protecting
flows threatened by water resource projects to our access and safety work. We've got our work
cut out for us in 2019. Take a moment to see what your contribution will support in every
whitewater region across the country in our 2018 Winter
Update.
Rest assured, your donations will be used in an efficient way to support river stewardship. 83
cents of every dollar goes directly to our river stewardship work and for the 8th year in a row,
American Whitewater was awarded the highest rating from Charity Navigator! Only 2% of charities
have received this designation at least 8 years in a row.
As you begin to think about your charitable gifts for the end of the year, please take a look at
our Winter
Appeal and consider the value American Whitewater's work brings to you and the whitewater
paddling community. We've got some exciting projects on the horizon and we hope we can count
on your support! Become an American Whitewater member or make a charitable
tax-deductible donation today!
The team at American Whitewater thanks you, and so do our rivers!
