How to Support the Mission of Water Rising
Thank you for making a contribution. Water Rising has grown from the initial book collaboration to include musical performances, a video installation, and events across the country and around the world. In 2016, we raised over $5,000 for environmental groups throughout the United States. All of this could not have been done without the generous support of patrons like you. But the mission is not over yet.
All contributions, honoraria, and book sales from events and the website are donated to environmental groups such as 1,000 Friends of Oregon, CT Audubon, and Scenic Hudson. We are committed to using this project, and any funds that can be raised through the project, to generate conversation about and support for environmental stewardship.
