We are grateful to Niagara Cares for their leadership and commitment to water stewardship.
This partnership aims to accelerate measurable water benefits for communities, ecosystems, and economies while advancing basin-level solutions aligned with the ambitions of the Water Resilience Coalition (an initiative of the CEO Water Mandate, managed and led by the Pacific Institute).
This support will help scale collective action in the Sacramento–San Joaquin Basin, Rio Grande, and Colorado River Basin by strengthening partnerships, developing project portfolios, improving impact tracking, and building the foundation for long-term collaborative investment.
