Give to the River. Give to the Community.
Your gift keeps the LA River wild, welcoming, and alive for everyone.
LA River Expeditions brings people to their hometown river — through education, guided exploration, and a deep commitment to local communities. Every donation, at any level, powers that work.
Why Give?
The River Needs Champions Like You
Every paddle stroke, every student who sees the river for the first time, every volunteer cleanup — it's all made possible by people who believe this urban waterway is worth protecting and sharing. Your support helps us:
· 🌿 Restore and protect the LA River's natural habitat
· 🛶 Run free and low-cost expeditions for underserved and marginalized communities
· 📚 Deliver educational programming for students, families, and community groups
· 🤝 Partner with local organizations to expand access to wild & scenic nature in LA
