Thank you for supporting the River Management Society!
The River Management Society is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization. We rely on volunteers and revenue from memberships, gifts, partnerships, sponsorships and events to support our work. Financial gifts keeps us going, and it's easy to support RMS with a donation. Each gift is important and appreciated for enabling us to pursue our mission.
RMS is here for you and your river. Through outreach, training and resources, we support the individuals who study, protect and manage North America's rivers. As educators, scientists, watershed leaders and students, we support public access to our rivers as resources for all citizens and visitors. Gifts to RMS support wise stewardship and management of rivers for generations to come.
Your Support Matters!
Your financial support allows us to grow the National Rivers Project, expand the River Training Center, support the River Studies and Leadership Certificate, evaluate and grow our resource of hydropower license and settlement summaries and fuel our Early Careers program while we continue our biennial symposia, periodic workshops and river trips, popular RMS Listserv, News Digest and quarterly RMS Journal.
How to donate to RMS:
One-time Donation
Whether you have $5, $25, or $2,500 to give, it makes a huge difference. Your financial support directly benefits river managers, researchers and future river managers across the country through training, networking, communication and resources provided by RMS.

Monthly Donation
The RMS Monthly Donor Program is truly painless and really makes a difference. Monthly gifts representing the cost of a few cups of decent coffee per month from 50% of our members would enable one of our part-time staff to work on a full time basis. Transactions occur via our secure credit card system. At the end of the calendar year you will receive a summary of your donated total for the year.
