We teach volunteers to monitor and identify sources for sediment in our streams through the Muddy Water Watch program. About 80 volunteers take part in these pollution monitoring programs. In addition, we collect water samples for analysis of industrial contaminants, CAFO nutrients, and micro-plastics. We test popular swimming sites on the Haw River and Jordan Lake for E-coli levels each week during the summer and publish the results in our online Swim Guide. Volunteers also assist us in installing and maintaining trash traps on urban streams to remove single use plastics and other trash. 110529 Haw River Watershed Education and Outreach Program: The Haw River Watershed Education and Outreach Program for schools and the public includes the annual Haw River Learning Celebration outdoor program for schools, where students learn about the river ecosystem and cultural history. We hold an annual free river festival for the public each May, and an annual river clean-up of our waterways with hundreds of volunteers. Other educational programs include film streamings and guided hikes and paddles throughout the year. 86270 Haw Riverkeeper program: Haw Riverkeeper program focuses on advocacy for clean water in the public arena. We conduct programs and presentations for the community, agencies, and elected officials about threats to clean water, and promoting the conservation of natural resources. We work to find solutions to stop industries from contaminating the Haw River with PFAS and other unregulated chemicals, and to reduce nutrient and sediment pollution into the Haw River. 318400 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 5 0 true 7 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 17 17 false false false false true true false true true false false true true true true false false true false false X Elaine Chiosso 9195425790 143 Bynum Church Rd Pittsboro NC 27312 Elaine Chiosso Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 62399 0 0 Chris Green Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John Wagner Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jeannie Ambrose Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John Runkle Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nicole Gaines President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Gerald Lynn Featherstone Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Crystal Cavalier Keck Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dianne Ford Co-Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 David Jester Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rufus King Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sharon Garbutt Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kate Fulbright Co-Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Chris Carter Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ayo Wilson Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Francisco Plaza Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jo Sanders Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dr Janet MacFall Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 62399 0 false false false 0 29540 1496227 1525767 0 18969 18969 5719 5719 21 21 4800 11630 -6830 -6830 -6830 1292447 1390255 -97808 -97808 -97808 15352 11600 3752 0 5287 4494 793 793 Misc Income 805 805 805 1451188 -103040 24709 0 4495 4495 0 0 62399 56783 3120 2496 0 191065 107684 42646 40735 0 60045 54641 3002 2402 20958 19072 1048 838 0 0 0 0 0 0 1695 1695 1086 1086 0 0 0 11579 10537 579 463 10895 9915 545 435 0 1354 1232 68 54 0 0 9541 8682 477 382 1770 1611 88 71 Supplies 14144 12871 707 566 Contract Labor 12230 11129 612 489 Printing and Publications 7928 7214 397 317 Utilities 2929 2665 146 118 13555 9869 3277 409 427668 318400 59493 49775 48253 19952 304333 1639416 0 25 0 0 0 5088 3717 0 405942 30369 362269 375573 1695 0 0 0 0 700 35253 722338 2073936 148 13663 24415 148 38078 X 722190 2031858 4000 722190 2035858 722338 2073936 1023520 290148 X X true X false false false X 217154 168312 633441 228075 1525767 2772749 0 0 217154 168312 633441 228075 1525767 2772749 1447252 1325497 2340 1028 437 1930 24688 30423 0 8401 2446 18850 14458 18487 62642 2865814 0.46250 0.79320 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 2250 4800 7050 7050 1410 353 1897 5640 false 2447 1200 1344 1410 6401 9602 6118 3000 6720 7050 22888 612 300 336 353 1601 2402 3680 960 1680 2250 8570 182447 182447 171771 9922 161849 49607 19993 29614 2117 454 1663 375573 LT Liability Lease 24415 24415 X false Fundraising Events 15352 15352 11600 15352 15352 11600 11600 3752 Form 990, Part III, Line 4d OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Additional small programs.
