When you invest in American Rivers, you join a community of philanthropic leaders responding boldly to transform the health of rivers in our country. 

Rivers provide people and nature with clean, abundant water and natural habitat. Their waters are essential to our shared future — yet rivers face unprecedented threats. Without healthy rivers, there’s no water, no wildlife, no life. 

Scientists say we must protect one-third of the planet’s remaining lands and waters to preserve nature and the balance of life. With 50 years of experience tackling river threats from coast-to-coast, American Rivers is increasing the pace and scale of our work. Your investment plays a vital role in our efforts to: 

• Secure protection for 1 million miles of rivers by 2030.  
• Remove 30,000 dams by 2050. 
• Build a powerful river movement to ensure long-term, transformational impact for rivers. 

Thank you for believing in American Rivers. Together, we can protect and heal the rivers that are vital to all life.
