Businesses: Supporting NRWA and Our Communities
A healthy environment has economic value, a principle that the Nashua River Watershed Association has recognized since our founding in 1969. We are pleased that those economic benefits are being recognized, including:
- Higher property values
- Expanded outdoor recreation opportunities
- Resilience to climate impacts such as flooding and high temperatures
- Reduction in water filtration and wastewater treatment costs
- Preservation of community character
- Improved quality of life that helps local businesses attract and retain employees
The NRWA helps local officials plan for growth and sustainability in our rapidly developing area of north central Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire. Clean rivers, adequate water supplies, and responsible land use are good for business, good for communities, and good for the environment.
Support from the business community has been central to the NRWA’s success since our inception. We are proud that over 100 watershed business members recognize the benefits provided by NRWA and feel strongly that the Association is worthy of their support.
Businesses can support the NRWA in a variety of ways, through memberships, donations, sponsorships, grants, and in-kind donations. Choose the option that best fits your business and become a partner– help promote a healthy economy and healthy environment in our watershed.
Membership
Business memberships support our annual operating budget so we can provide programs that proactively protect our resources, as well as have the ability to respond to unforeseen but critically important issues and projects, whether that’s a water pollution problem or a land protection opportunity. Join or Renew Online.
Matching Gifts
A key part of charitable giving for many corporations is a matching gift program. The NRWA is proud to receive matching gifts from many organizations, a way to support your employees’ philanthropic interests and protect the natural resources of our region.
Sponsorships
The NRWA has periodic opportunities for businesses to sponsor a program, activity, or event.
Grants
Some businesses provide their philanthropic support with a focus on a specific community, region, or type of program. We can work with your organization to find programs that are a good fit with your business and philanthropic interests and our needs.
In-Kind Donations
Some businesses and individuals choose to support our work with donations of goods and services ranging from design and printing services to landscaping and building maintenance.
Volunteer Opportunities
Many corporations today are encouraging their employees to get involved and support non-profits in their communities. NRWA volunteer opportunities range from water monitoring, to water chestnut pulls, to office support, to building and grounds maintenance.
