Have your gift doubled!

In chaotic times, we need this quiet waters more than ever. As the Trump administration zeros in on the
Boundary Waters, we need to join together to speak up for this special place.

During our 2025 Open Water fundraiser, each dollar you give will be doubled, thanks to a $100,000 matching gift. Take action, lock in your donation, and stand up to Trump’s plan to give your wilderness away to foreign mining corporations.

Your Gift Helps…

  • The legal and legislative fight against copper-sulfide mining
  • Send kids on their first Boundary Waters trip
  • Preserve clean water for this and future generations
