John, earlier today our President Bob Irvin reached out to let you know about the fundraising match we have for Giving Tuesday. I want to make sure you saw his note, because this is a rare opportunity to double your impact.

The story of the Delaware River's rebirth from an overly polluted river is an amazing one, but it's not alone.

If you can spare even $25 today, that is $50 that will help us add to the list of great comeback stories.

Thank you for all you do for rivers,

Bruce Leathwood
Senior Director of Membership

Dear John,

Seventy five years ago, people were sickened by the smell of the Delaware River because it was choked with sewage. Fifty years ago, the Cuyahoga River caught fire because it was so polluted.

Not anymore.

Today, the water in these rivers is cleaner. Fish are returning. Families can enjoy boating, fishing and swimming. It’s all thanks to strong clean water safeguards and collaboration around innovative solutions. It’s why we named the Cuyahoga “River of the Year” in 2019, and it’s why we gave the 2020 honor to the Delaware River.

These are major comeback stories, and it’s what we’re all about.

Will you help us create more successes like Cuyahoga and the Delaware nationwide? Donate today and your gift will be matched $ for $.

While we celebrate success, we’re also not letting up. Rollbacks by the Trump Administration to clean water safeguards could undo progress we’ve made on rivers across the country.

We can’t go backwards – donate today to protect rivers and clean water. Thanks to a generous donor, up to $15,000 is matched.
$10 = $20
$25 = $50
$50 = $100

Every day, we use our advocacy, partnerships and expertise to bring rivers back to life.

With help from supporters like you, we can transform a river – because we know that a healthy river can improve the lives of everyone living along its banks.

Give now, and we’ll put your donation to work immediately to create the next great river comeback story.

For the rivers,
