Partners & Donors
Collaboration Powers Conservation
Every CRA restoration project brings together funding and insight from community groups, tribal nations, federal and state agencies, private foundations, individuals, and more. This diversity of ideas and financial support is critical—lasting solutions come from balance, built by listening to all perspectives.
Our work is always grounded in sound science, but success also depends on honoring regulation, local history, tribal culture, and the practical needs that ensure communities take ownership. To reach the finish line, ambitious goals require public grants, private contributions to match and fill gaps, and the helping hands of volunteers to keep costs manageable.
From the rushing waters of northern Michigan’s wild rivers to the quiet strength of its protected forests, thank you for supporting CRA’s mission. Your contributions ripple across the Great Lakes region, safeguarding community treasures. Future generations will have you to thank for healthy watersheds and thriving wildlife.

CRA’s staple program, River Care, allows us to complete projects from stem to stern across our 15-county service region. First identified at the local level, River Care projects make their way to our Workplan and are managed by our veteran project management team. River Care fills project funding gaps and is used to leverage federal dollars to complete critically important work in each watershed we care for.
Federal & State Funding
Federal and state funding sources are also key to our work! Our River Care Program page highlights active and past River Care projects and every funding source that was utilized for that project.
