$47,0000 to go, your gift keeps our programs going

Donations are WMG’s primary source of funding and your gift ensures we can continue and bolster our big initiatives to restore our desert rivers, make water harvesting and hydro-local living common practice, and create cooler, healthier cities. 

Our ask is urgent: we are short $47,000 to reach our year-end fundraising goal, and we must raise these funds to continue our planned programming. Will you help us reach our goal with a gift today? 

Consider these ways to extend your generosity and help offset your taxes: 

Gifts of stock
Gifts from an IRA (for donors 70.5 or older)
Grants from a Donor-Advised Fund
Gifts of cryptocurrency
If you’d like to discuss any of these giving options, plan a special gift, or make a pledge for a gift on its way, please email me!  
 
What does your donation fund? Here are a three examples from our core programs: 

Your donation funds our River Run Network program, enabling our staff to lead groundbreaking solutions like bringing back beavers to restore our desert rivers and coordinating drought responses that protect local rivers and aquifers. 

Your donation funds our Living Lab and Learning Center—ensuring it can remain free and open to the public six days a week, with free weekly learning opportunities for all ages on sustainable desert living.

Your donation funds our Community Conservation program to provide training and capacity-building with schools, neighborhoods, and green job professionals to design and install green infrastructure that reduces flooding and cools our cities.
