Dear Friend,

While spring officially arrived last month, it seems the weather in Oregon has finally caught up with the season! We hope you're enjoying the sun and finding some quiet time along your favorite river. If you're looking for riverside hike suggestions, check out our article Springtime River Hikes.

The middle of April also marks the end of tax season, so we want to offer a friendly reminder that reinvesting tax returns in a donation to WaterWatch is a great way to contribute to the health and future of the rivers you hold dear. By joining and supporting WaterWatch, you'll help to protect and restore instream flows and free-flowing rivers in Oregon, where immediate and lasting progress is being made right now.

Partner with us as we celebrate four decades of WaterWatch and look forward to our next 40 years! In addition to one-time and monthly giving, other giving options include:

• Stocks Gifts — Make a meaningful impact for free-flowing rivers, groundwater, and native fish and wildlife in Oregon with an easy transfer of stock holdings.
• Donor-Advised Funds — DAFs are becoming increasingly popular, allowing for convenient giving and management through sponsoring organizations and financial institutions.
• Business Partnerships — Pledge your support to WaterWatch and Oregon's rivers via in-kind donations, event sponsorships, short-term revenue sharing, and more!

To discuss specific giving options and opportunities, contact WaterWatch development officer Jesse Robbins via email at [email protected], or at (503) 295-4039, ext. 111.

Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership!

For rivers,

The WaterWatch of Oregon Team
