Our Mission

American Rivers believes every community in our country should have clean water and a healthy river. Since 1973, we have protected wild rivers, restored damaged rivers and conserved clean water for people and nature. With headquarters in Washington, D.C., and offices across the country, we are the premier river conservation organization in the United States, delivering solutions that will last for generations to come.

Our vision is to keep rivers healthy and free while providing people with the water they need. By donating your vehicle today, you will help us fight for clean water, thriving communities and healthy ecosystems. Together, we can make a future of healthy, free-flowing rivers possible everywhere, for everyone.
