River Network envisions a future of clean and ample water for people and nature, where local caretakers are well-equipped, effective, and courageous champions for our rivers.
In response to member requests for guidance and examples to help them effectively engage with members of their community to gather data and use it to address local, water-related problems, River Network is pleased to offer a new grant opportunity. We have developed a tool on Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) and will select six community organizations with an interest in and the capacity to incorporate CBPR methodologies in their work to receive $6,500 and technical assistance to develop and deploy a CBPR project in their community.
River Network stands in solidarity with the Black community and believes all people have a right to clean and safe water, and the right to feel safe everywhere. We are committed to inclusion as one of our core values and to promoting a sense of belonging for all, regardless of race. We encourage you join us in learning to recognize and to challenge the ways in which racism, inequality, and privilege intersect with our work in conservation and commit to sharing resources that help us all be catalysts and partners in building a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive movement for our nation’s waters.
