Raise for the River
The James River Association is the only organization devoted solely to the protection of all 340 miles of the James River. To continue our work, we need the help of our supporters and fellow river lovers in the community.
Creating a fundraising page to celebrate and protect Virginia’s most valuable natural resource is a unique and easy way of giving back to the James! Start your fundraiser from one of the links below, and become a James Changer today.
Provide Education Scholarships for Students
We receive funding to help cover some cost associated with our education trips, but not all. Help us cover tuition for students who need it most.
Test the Waters
Over 75 volunteers donate their time to run water quality tests on the James River and its tributaries. Help us cover the cost of testing supplies and materials to support these volunteer
Connect with the James
By supporting Connect with the James, you are helping to ensure that we have a swimmable, fishable, and drinkable river to share, protect, and enjoy now and throughout future generations.
Plant a Tree
Trees are essential to a healthy river. They provide habitat, slow flood water, improve water quality, and provide shade to cool waterways. JRA has a goal to plant 72,600 trees in the next three years. Help us plant a tree.
