How You Can Help
Interested in supporting DRBA?
Here's how!
Together we can be environmental agents of change for our region and improve and enhance the communities in both Virginia and North Carolina in the Dan River basin.
As we enter our third decade as protector of the Dan River basin, we find our challenges are different than those we faced in the past. Since DRBA began in 2002, we’ve seen incredible improvements in the health of our regional rivers and streams. The issues may seem less obvious and appear less urgent to address, but the truth is, our challenges are even greater.
Give a Gift
We owe it to future generations of students, families, and communities to not just protect but also improve the natural and cultural resources of the Dan River basin. Help us complement and build on our core activities, expand awareness and appreciation for the importance of preservation and conservation through our work. You can choose to give to help all areas of our work or specify your giving to our Environmental Education Fund, Stewardship Fund or Butler Legacy Fund.
Give A Monthly Gift
It doesn’t matter how much you give, your generosity will make a huge impact when you choose to give a monthly gift. Help us ensure our beloved watershed—and the people, flora and fauna who rely on it—will have its most passionate protector for many years to come.
Join the River Legacy Circle
DRBA was founded in 2002 and is the only organization solely dedicated to protecting and enhancing the Dan River watershed and the natural and cultural resources in the 3,300 square miles it covers. When you join the River Legacy Circle, you are supporting DRBA’s work toward protecting the river and connecting people to it for many generations to come. Your gift of $1,000 or more will help DRBA to build steady and sustainable financial resources that are crucial for our region’s environmental present needs and future conservation efforts. Plus you get invited to some unique events at places not open to the public.
Make a Gift in Honor or in Memory of a Loved One
Recognize someone special, express your sympathy, celebrate the birth of a child, honor a lost loved one or commemorate a milestone or anniversary by making a special gift in their name.
