To promote the environmental and economic vitality of the French Broad River and its watershed.

Activities or mission (Part I)

RiverLink promotes the environmental and economic vitality of the French Broad River and its watershed.

  • Withheld by Nonprofiteer: this text may name a private individual.

    Expenses $879,217 · Grants $44,531 · Revenue $34,800

  • Water Quality: In 2023, our Watershed Resources Program made significant contributions to protect water quality and promote climate resilience in the French Broad River Watershed. We completed construction of the Southside Community Stormwater Project, a green infrastructure project that will benefit water quality in Nasty Branch and the French Broad River, as well as the 2900+ residents of Erskine Apartments, a City of Asheville public housing community. 57 storm drains were adopted by residents of Asheville as part of our Adopt- A-Storm Drain program. In collaboration with the Town of Black Mountain, our WaterRICH program led a half-day workshop for homeowners on how to design and construct a bioswale to prevent stormwater runoff.

  • Education: In 2023 our education programs continued to provide free and accessible opportunities for students throughout WNC to connect with their environment. Our in-school programming brought aquatic ecology lessons to 39 different schools, engaging a total of 4,034 students. We also ran 5 weeks of summer camp where we explored the watershed with 60 campers, 20% of which were provided with a full scholarship.

As filed on the 2023 return. A text marked withheld matched a screen for wording that may name a private individual, such as an honorific or "in memory of". Most of what it withholds names no one; it is withheld so that what does is never shown.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
