Your ripple effects

As a child, you likely tossed a pebble into water and watched the ripples expand. A rhythmic dance across the surface, growing larger and larger. It was pure magic — how one small action could have such far-reaching impacts.

The impact of your generosity is no different. Whether your support helps us remove a dangerous dam or save a precious river — every action we take together creates a ripple. Collectively, these ripples gain momentum and eventually transform the entire surface of the water.

Thanks to you and thousands of dedicated supporters, partners, staff experts, and volunteers who contribute every day to our outward ripples, American Rivers is increasing our impact across the country. Together, we are rising to meet our most ambitious goals yet. From the largest dam removal in history to critical victories for America’s Most Endangered Rivers®, we invite you to explore our 2024 Impact Report. Thank you for standing with us — and the rivers that make all life possible.
