Given the essential and irreplaceable nature of the Riverkeeper patrols, we are seeking to raise dedicated funds to support this core Riverkeeper function into the future. Our goal is to create a restricted Captain’s Fund that will function as an endowment for Riverkeeper’s patrol boat program, covering the annual costs of the boat and its captain, which are currently approximately $175,000.
To keep Riverkeeper’s boat patrols on the Hudson in perpetuity, we will need a fund of $3.5M. We hope you will join us in supporting this critical program and help keep Riverkeeper’s eyes and ears on the water.
