As we begin the new year, we wanted to start by thanking all of our valued supporters and donors for being such an important part of the work we are doing to restore the Colorado River Delta. We could not have accomplished what we have without you.

As we look ahead to the coming year, our goal is to work for the conservation of the region in partnership with the people and the institutions of the Delta. In this way, we will strive to not only restore an environment that supports native biodiversity, but also provide economic and recreational benefits for the local communities of the Colorado Delta Region.

Here’s to 2016….thank you for being a part of the Raise The River community!

Go For The Goal!  Year-end Matching Campaign on GoFundMe
…now through December 31

Now in its homestretch, after a 3-year effort, Raise The River is less than $5,000 away from achieving its initial goal of raising $10 million to reconnect the Colorado River to the sea and restore life in the Delta.

Thanks to the generosity of Hunter Industries, contributions will be matched dollar-for-dollar through Dec. 31, meaning the impact of your donation is doubled. Please join us now, and be a part of bringing home this landmark win for conservation and our iconic Colorado River.

We are currently working to raise the final $5,000 during the month of December: If you could find it in your heart to help in any way, donations of any amount are greatly appreciated. If you cannot donate, please help us by forwarding our GoFundMe link and video to your friends, or anyone who you think would be interested.
