In The Network…

Since our inception TCWN has worked to build the capacity of citizen watershed associations and leaders so that they may become more effective advocates for their local watersheds. TCWN regularly provides direct assistance to local watershed organizations, including:

• Providing guidance in establishing 501(c)(3) status.
• Supplying financial backing and helping an organization develop fundraising strategies.
• Providing technical and policy support.
• Guiding organizations through the strategic planning process.
• Building and developing a Board of Directors.
• Reaching and targeting constituents.
