The Next Generation is Counting on You for Healthy Waters!

Double Your Impact with a $50,000 Matching Gift Challenge!

Thanks to a group of generous donors, gifts will be matched up to $50,000.00. But only until December 31, 2025. Please give today to help us make the challenge!

Leadership Giving Circle members are donors who make a significant impact by making an annual gift of $500 or more.

With your Leadership Giving Circle support, this is what we accomplished together in 2025 to educate and engage people in your community for healthy waters:

• You revitalized the South River! The Veterans Memorial Park Dam in Marshfield was removed, opening 1 mile of the South River and allowing fish to move upstream freely for the first time in almost 400 years.

• You protected vital water flow by helping us assess ~30 culverts for blockages and advance 3 critical restoration projects.

• You fostered the next generation of stewards, delivering watershed science education to nearly 5,300 youth and engaging 75 partners in our Environmental Education programs.

• You provided WaterSmart education on conservation and pollution prevention through 14 campaigns in 12 South Shore communities.

• You connected 8,100 people with nature —both in person and online—and helped our Get Outdoors listings achieve 5 million+ pageviews.

• You empowered 800+ dedicated volunteers, including 173 citizen scientists, whose time and expertise are the foundation of our success.

The next generation is counting on us for clean waters. Thank you for giving to our Annual Fund today!
