Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Inspire the community to protect the Russian River forever.

  • The Riverkeeper Restoration Program major focus was removing the highly flammable, non-native, and invasive arundo donax. We removed over 43 acres, saving over 220 million gallons of water and dramatically reducing the fire risk to Fitch Mountain and Healdsburg. We submitted the Use Permit application for the Hanson RR Floodplain Restoration Project.

    Expenses $527,602 · Revenue $12,794

  • Riverkeepers Clean Team program removed over 200,000 pounds of trash and 315 tires in 2023. Clean Team and RR Watershed Cleanup volunteers removed another 18,450 pounds of trash in 52 community cleanups with 822 volunteers donating 2.016 hours of time.

    Expenses $214,032

  • Riverkeepers Water Advocacy program led the environmental caucus to develop the first water quality permit for vineyards and led work to improve efforts to adapt our water management for the climate change era. RRK staff attended over 60 agency hearings and meetings, submitted 20 comment letters and produced 3 action alerts on critical issues affecting the health of the watershed.

    Expenses $210,828

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.
