Colorado River Foundation

The mission of the Colorado River Foundation is to mobilize financial and human resources to promote educational awareness, appreciation, and stewardship of the Colorado River.

Description:
The Colorado River Foundation (CRF), a 501(c) 3 organization, was established in 1994 to raise funds in support of natural science education and outdoor recreation programs primarily for at-risk and underserved youth. Further, CRF strives to organize community projects that protect and increase the awareness of our natural environment along the Colorado River. The Redbud Center, a shining example of green building construction, was completed in May of 2008 and is home to an interactive public park facility with exhibits created for students and community members.
