Please support Clean Virginia Waterways

Donors and sponsors make Clean Virginia Waterways' year-round work on reducing plastic pollution in our waterways possible. CVW depends on supporters like YOU!

CVW is uniquely positioned to make real and long-lasting improvements to combat the ever-growing tide of plastic waste in our environment.

Please become a supporter of Clean Virginia Waterways
Since 1995, CVW has been a trusted leader in tackling the sources and impacts of marine debris, litter, and plastic pollution through our research, outreach, campaigns, reports, and annual statewide cleanup events (part of the International Coastal Cleanup organized by Ocean Conservancy).

Donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.

CVW's mission to enhance the health of Virginia's water resources is accomplished through pollution prevention, education and stewardship activities. While CVW is extremely cost-effective, these programs require gifts from people and corporations that care about our water quality.

Your gift to Clean Virginia Waterways will made a difference!

$150 can clean hundreds of pounds of trash from a river through equipping volunteers for the International Coastal Cleanup in Virginia.

  • $35 can provide educational materials to a classroom teacher.

  • $100 can help CVW's research into balloons and cigarette butts as litter

  • Sponsorship of CVW's statewide teachers' workshops, litter prevention and water stewardship programs are also available.

CVW's projects are funded by gifts, workshop fees and grants from foundations, businesses and government agencies.

CVW works to PREVENT and also remove harmful litter and debris from land and waterways. Please join the effort!
