Fundraising is a great way to raise money for river restoration — and have fun doing it! There is no wrong way to fundraise. Whether you choose to do something active like a sponsored swim, something delicious like a cake sale, or something more relaxed like a read-a-thon, your support could help us to restore even more rivers, plant even more trees, and do even more to bring back nature and tackle climate change.
