COVID-19 makes our move toward paperless acknowledgments of donations even more timely. If you have not updated your contact information recently, this is a great time to do so! Please email charles@crwa.org with your updated contact information. If we do not currently have your email, please know that your tax receipt will be delayed until our office re-opens.

WHY GIVE TO CRWA?

Over the past fifty years, the Charles River has had a remarkable resurgence. The river is now full of life. It is a source of recreation and a readily available connection to the natural world for Boston residents. It is home to hundreds of ecosystems and more than 8,000 acres of wetlands have been protected forever from development as part of the Natural Valley Storage Project.

This resurgence has caused a false sense of “mission accomplished.” The truth is that new and mounting pressures, due to a changing climate, are threatening the health of the Charles. For a river intertwined with 80 miles of bustling civilization, “clean” is not an endpoint, it’s a verb—and it’s our unwavering mission.

We’re ready for the challenge, but we need YOUR help.

Join us in our fight and invest in CRWA today! Give us the ability to develop and implement strategies based on science, law, and advocacy to address these issues head-on with green infrastructure, water quality monitoring, education, policy changes, and more.

Donor-advised fund

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is like a charitable investment account, for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations you care about. It is a simple, flexible, and tax-efficient way to give back to your favorite charities.
When you contribute cash, securities, or other assets to a donor-advised fund at a public charity, you are generally eligible to take an immediate tax deduction.
If you have a donor-advised fund with Fidelity Charitable or Schwab Charitable, you may use the form below to initiate a grant recommendation from your fund.
