Double your impact on the Mississippi River!

As we approach year's end we find ourselves reflecting on the things for which we're grateful. At the top of FMR's list: You. You and the profound impact of your support on the health of the Mississippi River, its watershed and our communities. 

At FMR we're working hard to protect the Mississippi, the lifeblood of the Twin Cities. The river provides drinking water to nearly 1 million Minnesotans, critical wildlife habitat and a place for residents to connect with nature. We all have a stake in its health. Since our founding, FMR has emerged as a national leader for urban river protection and revitalization. Each and every day we work to protect clean drinking water for Twin Cities communities, ensure smart river-friendly development that creates public access but maintains scenic views, and restore public lands so that current and future generations may enjoy the many benefits of this world-class resource. But we can't do it alone.

Now until December 31st, all new or increased gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar. Thanks to a few generous donors, you can double your impact on the Mississippi River.

Together we can ensure a healthy Mississippi River for people and wildlife in the Twin Cities.

From all of us at FMR, thank you for being a friend of the river and we wish you a peaceful and joyous holiday season!
