What we aim to solve
SOURCE: Self-reported by organization
We all need clean, safe water for our families — no matter where we live or what we look like. Much of our water comes from rivers, which also provide crucial habitat for fish and wildlife. Our economy, farms, and cities depend on river water for growth. And rivers give us ways to connect with nature and each other.

Contaminated by pollution, choked by dams, and overwhelmed by rising temperatures and devastating floods and drought, America’s rivers are losing their life-giving power. This is not just an environmental tragedy, but a profound threat to our health, communities, and safety. We can still protect our vital lifelines, but we have to do it quickly. Because life depends on rivers — and rivers depend on us.
Our programs
SOURCE: Self-reported by organization
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success,
and who do the programs serve?
Abundant wildlife
Free-flowing rivers are vital lifelines for fish, wildlife, and entire ecosystems. Scientists warn we must conserve our remaining natural areas to preserve nature and our fragile web of life. Without healthy rivers, there’s no water, no wildlife, no life. We protect rivers from pollution and harmful development and restore freshwater habitats so the species that live there can thrive.
Population(s) Served
Safe, healthy communities
While we can’t stop violent weather, we can make sure communities can live without fear and rivers can be sources of well-being and prosperity. Keeping rivers healthy helps reduce the risk of catastrophic floods, droughts, and fires. American Rivers leads the national effort to restore damaged rivers so they can better withstand the pressures of a changing climate. And we remove dangerous, outdated dams that pose safety hazards to people.
Population(s) Served

Clean water
Every living thing depends on clean water for survival. And much of our water comes from rivers. That’s why American Rivers protects rivers that are the sources of our drinking water. It’s also why we help cities use natural approaches to manage polluted runoff, keeping contaminants out of streams and ensuring every person — no matter where they live or their background — has clean, safe, reliable drinking water.

We all need the clean, reliable drinking water rivers provide. Wildlife also need cool, healthy freshwater ecosystems as climate change makes their homes hotter and drier. But our rivers are being polluted, flooded, and drained. Now is no time to stand on the sidelines. American Rivers is tackling the threats head on. We will:
-Protect 1 million miles of rivers.
-Remove 30,000 harmful, unused dams.
-Mobilize a powerful river movement to drive the change our rivers and water need.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We can still protect our vital lifelines — but we have to do it quickly. As the threats intensify, American Rivers is responding boldly. We aim to:
Protect 1 million miles of rivers against pollution, harmful dams, and overdevelopment, and to maintain the health of these rivers for wildlife and as sources of drinking water for most Americans.
Protect rivers from the detrimental effects of catastrophic wildfire.
Balance growing demand for water, e.g. for energy and data centers, with protection of enough clean water for wildlife, agriculture, and drinking water.
Improve wildlife habitat and public safety through restoring 5,000 river miles by removing 500 harmful, unsafe dams by 2029.
Improve wildlife habitat and drinking water through reconnecting 35,000 acres of floodplains by 2029.
Restore 10,000 river miles harmed by certain hydropower dams including communities most impacted by hydro development and operations.
Make urban rivers clean enough to swim and enjoy by implementing policies that address stormwater pollution to restore river health, drinking water and river access in cities.
Expand and accelerate the river and water movement including by convening and connect federal, state, and local efforts to protect and restore rivers.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
1) Protect healthy rivers: Our goal is to safeguard 1 million miles of rivers, from remote mountain streams to urban waterways. We work to protect healthy rivers from pollution and harmful development so they can provide the clean, safe, reliable water we all need, along with habitat for fish and wildlife. We advocate for local, state, and federal protection for our nation’s healthiest, most beautiful waterways and rivers near where people live. This includes protecting headwaters streams and the waters that flow across public lands, which are the drinking water sources for millions of people.
2) Restore free-flowing rivers: We aim to remove 30,000 dams by 2050, opening 300,000 river miles to fish and aquatic species. Many of the 500,000 dams blocking our waterways reduce water quality, block fish and wildlife from reaching healthy habitat, and pose serious safety threats to our communities. Removing outdated dams we no longer need is the fastest, most effective way to bring rivers back to life — restoring clean water, protecting communities from preventable hazards, and letting fish and wildlife thrive again.
3) Repair wetlands and floodplains: Our work to nurse healthy wetlands and floodplains—the low-lying land around rivers— areas back to health gives rivers room to flood without inundating properties and businesses. We aim to reconnect 35,000 acres of floodplains. This also allows for the recharge of groundwater supplies, which helps communities in times of drought. And, restoring these lands improves critical habitat for birds, fish, and freshwater life.
4) Build a River Majority: Clean water isn’t a luxury — it’s a right that belongs to all of us. We use strategic communications and public engagement to connect people with rivers and advance lasting solutions. With our affiliated American Rivers Action Fund, we are building a broad, nonpartisan river movement to drive the bold action our rivers need.
5) Help city rivers work better: Our vision is to make the rivers in every city and town clean enough to swim and play in. We work with cities to keep stormwater pollution and trash out of the rivers that flow through our neighborhoods. We also rehabilitate rivers and creeks close to where most of us live, so that people in urban areas can safely enjoy their city waterway
6) America’s Most Endangered Rivers®: Every year, we team up with local partners to shine a national spotlight on 10 rivers whose fates hang in the balance. In its 40 years, the campaign has stopped risky river development, held polluters accountable for contaminating water sources, and improved the lives and livelihoods of millions of people.

Balance sheet
Fiscal Year:
Jul 01 - Jun 30
SOURCE: IRS Form 990
info
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time.
An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long,
but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets
(cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments).
Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current
liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
