Description
The Watershed Advocacy program from the Keith Campbell Foundation for the Environment funds projects that improve the health and water quality of streams and rivers by empowering communities—especially those most affected by water policy decisions—to engage in advocacy and policy discussions. The program prioritizes support for marginalized and low-income communities that face barriers to participating in environmental policymaking. Funding is directed to innovative approaches that build capacity among frontline watershed stewards, restoration practitioners, and foster partnerships among diverse stakeholders to advance watershed health. The Foundation aims to ensure that all watershed regions are protected and that all residents have access to clean, safe, and swimmable water.
