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
💚 Remember: Your contribution is tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. LA River Expeditions is a program that partners with The Electric Lodge as our fiscal receiver and is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
