In 2025, we will face growing problems in water management. Prescott and Prescott Valley are authorizing thousands of new homes - each home consumes groundwater - that will ultimately require importing water from the Big Chino aquifer. This is an existential threat to the upper Verde River, which is in a fragile and vulnerable condition.
We are at a pivotal juncture where CWAG needs to grow stronger to meet a growing challenge. Your support is essential. Here's how you can help:
1 Renew Your Membership: If you haven’t already done so, please consider renewing your membership with CWAG in the next month. Your membership dues provide a stable foundation of support that allows us to plan for the future with confidence and dues and donations are tax deductible.
To donate or renew your membership, simply click HERE. If you prefer to use US Mail, download the form.
2. Make a Donation: In addition to membership renewal, please consider making an additional donation to our organization. We are registered with the IRS as a 501(c)(3) organization, so donations are tax deductible. Every dollar counts and will go directly towards our education and advocacy efforts. Also, please consider making a Qualified Charitable Distribution to CWAG by sharing some of your required year-end IRA distributions. For details, see Share your required IRA distributions with CWAG! on our website.
3. Volunteer: There are a variety of roles available for those who may be willing to join the CWAG volunteer team. If you have a few hours per month that you could dedicate to our group you can make a direct and lasting impact on our organization’s capacity to function effectively. Simply check a box for one of the volunteer options listed at the bottom of the membership renewal page. Or please
3. Spread the Word: Share our mission and fundraising campaign with your friends, family, and colleagues who share our passion for water advocacy. When you renew your membership, you will see an opportunity to “Tell Your Friends.” Your endorsement can help us reach a wider audience and achieve our fundraising goals.
You are part of an essential membership group whose unwavering support has been the lifeblood of our organization since our inception twenty years ago. We are confident that, with your help, we can continue our mission to ensure a safe water supply for the Prescott AMA and to protect the flow of the Verde River for generations to come.
Thank you for being a part of our community, and thank you for your enduring commitment to preserving a way of life in this region we have all come to treasure.
Warmest regards,
The CWAG Board: Gary Beverly, Truly Bracken, Ralph Hess, Leslie Hoy, Peter Kroopnick, Fred Oswald, Tom Sands, Greg Stein, Paul Glaves
