How You Can Help

We hope that you join in our excitement about the DRC’s many accomplishments to date. If you would like to play a role in our future success, please consider making an annual donation.

This year is especially critical as it will be our first ever without federal funding. The war in Iraq, Homeland Security, Hurricane Katrina relief, and other federal budgetary issues have prevented the DRC’s reauthorization and subsequent appropriation. We have been remarkably successful in replacing the project funding that we lost, but those funds are highly restricted and specifically earmarked for projects. You can help the DRC continue to accomplish its ambitious goals by providing financial support that is unencumbered by project restrictions. Such support enables us to build the partnerships and alliances necessary to continue creating large-scale endeavors and producing measurable basin-wide results in water quality and quantity. Here are our giving levels:

Give the gift of water:

River Champion
~ $250
~ $500

River Steward
~ $1000
~ $2,500
~ $5,000

Your donation will make a difference to the quality of our waterways and wildlife, and ultimately to the Central Oregon lifestyle that we have all come to treasure.
