Save our Pollinators!

Help ORF raise $15,000 by the end of the year to kickstart our efforts to plant 100 acres of pollinator habitat in our region!

This year our organization will be participating in the Cincinnati Gives Challenge, a friendly fundraising competition where local charities compete to raise the most money with the top teams winning cash prizes from Cincinnati Magazine. With your generous support, we can maximize our impact – STARTING ON #GIVINGTUESDAY and ending Thursday, December 9! 

For more than 20 years, Ohio River Foundation has worked diligently to protect and improve the water quality and ecology of the Ohio River and its watershed. We have succeeded in reaching our goals through advocacy, habitat restoration, and school education and youth programs, but we can't do this important work alone.

Resiliency through Restoration

At Ohio River Foundation we know effective habitat restoration is vital to building climate change resiliency and it is central to our work.

With your generous gift, you can help ORF work towards our goal of raising $15,000 by the end of the year to kickstart our efforts to plant 100 acres of pollinator habitat in our region.  

ORF has restored thousands of acres of habitat in the Ohio River watershed. We’ve planted nearly 16,000 trees; removed more than 400,000 invasive plants; and reconnected more than 220 miles of rivers, but we need your support to build on this work. 

This year alone, we completed the largest habitat restoration project ever undertaken in southwest Ohio, planted more than 10,000 trees, protected more than six miles of riverbank, and removed more than 45,000 invasive plant and tree species. Additionally, the team continues to make great progress on our new restoration projects working with farmers and other landowners to increase pollinator habitat. 

Can we count on your support? 

This habitat restoration work is vital in the fight to save our pollinators and combat climate change. Your gift to ORF can help us continue and build on these important projects into 2022 and beyond! Donate Today!
