Our Work

Water Quality Improvements Through Community Investment

For IAWA, conservation doesn’t start when equipment touches the soil or water. It begins long before then with strong partnerships, fundraising, and education.

To date, IAWA has secured more than $150 million of investment and resources to improve water quality. We have connected more than 100 unique organizations to do this important work. And we build education and information into each one of our projects so grassroots leaders can continue the hard work in their communities.
