The staff and board of directors of Minnesota Waters would like to thank all of the generous individuals, businesses, groups and foundations who supported our work in 2011. Every membership, every gift and every grant we receive increases our effectiveness as we empower citizens to protect and improve the beautiful waters of Minnesota.
Space limitations permit us to acknowledge those who provide support at the $250+ level. But each and every donor who made a gift in 2010 is celebrated and appreciated. Financial support from citizens and groups affirms our work, and invigorates our passionately held belief that citizens are the most important source of positive change for our state’s unique waterscape. We thank each and every person who made a contribution to our 501(c)3 non-profit organization!
Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge two important organizations whose partnership and financial compensation for services rendered continue to be invaluable to our work: The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, the Capitol Region Watershed District, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the Prior Lake-Spring Lake Watershed District.
