Friends of the Verde River

 Choose Your Impact. Protect the Verde River.

The Verde River is one of the last free-flowing rivers in the Southwest, supporting wildlife, communities, and agriculture across central Arizona.

Friends of the Verde River works to protect and restore this vital watershed through community programs, scientific monitoring, restoration, and education.

Today your gift goes even further! Thanks to our generous current and former Board Members, Arizona Gives Day donations will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $6,000.

Preserve the River’s History

Help document and share the story of the Verde River through historic photography, storytelling, and community exhibits.

Support River-Friendly Living

Fund grants and programs that help residents, schools, and businesses reduce water use and create landscapes that support the watershed.

Protect Water Quality
