The Anacostia River Needs You
Despite tremendous progress, the Anacostia River is still on its journey to becoming the thriving urban river it can be. Even as we continue towards a swimmable and fishable river, the impending reality of climate change looms. We need a healthy and resilient urban river ecosystem.
We invite you to join us with a gift to sustain this progress and momentum. With a gift of $1,000 or more, you become part of a community of forward-thinking friends of the river who are essential to restoring and protecting the Anacostia watershed. Your gift is an investment in tangible solutions that bring multiple benefits to the watershed and the greater metropolitan region.
How Your Gift Goes to Work
Your gift directly supports the projects, people, and places that are restoring the human and natural communities of the watershed.
- Engage children and youth in meaningful educational experiences
- Restore the natural functioning of the Anacostia River’s forests, wetlands, and tributaries
- Empower community volunteers and advocates to foster a vibrant, inclusive local watershed community.
- Support AWS in investing in critical new opportunities, like the Anacostia Watershed Center and timely policy campaigns
