Green Organizations

At EarthShare Oregon, our mission is to provide a convenient way for Oregonians to support groups working for the environment.

Throughout Oregon and southwest Washington, EarthShare Oregon has engaged thousands of people and raised millions of dollars to support Oregon's environmental legacy of clean water, fresh food, sustainable communities, healthy families, and access to nature.

EarthShare Oregon does this by partnering with workplaces large and small to offer employees several ways to connect with nature.

The Colorado Water Trust is committed to completing projects that put real water back in rivers and streams across Colorado. In our brief history, we’ve restored approximately 9 billion gallons of water to 316 miles of streams and rivers in Colorado.

WHY WE'RE NEEDED

When the Colorado Water Trust was founded in 2001, our job was to prove that this same system could also restore depleted river flows—bringing back ecosystems and making life better for wildlife and humans both.
