Much of the Kalamazoo River Watershed Council’s work is supported by grants leveraged by the in-kind involvement of our community. The dedication of our local community partners and many individuals make it possible for KRWC to secure grant funding from a variety of federal, state, and local sources to support our programs.
The KRWC extends a special thanks to our many dedicated grant supporters, River Givers, partners, and sponsors. We are also grateful to our many volunteers at events such as the Kalamazoo Water Festival, Kanoe the Kazoo, Master Rain Gardener program, and Krazy for the Kazoo river cleanups. Our programs and special projects would not be possible without the generous funding provided by the organizations and individuals listed below.
If your business or organization would like to learn more about getting involved and making a difference in our watershed, please contact Patty by email or by phone at (269) 447-1580.
