Most never get the chance to fight for an irreplaceable treasure. This is yours.
Have your gift doubled!
When Washington moves to repeal the protections that keep the Boundary Waters wild, we don’t panic — we organize. We’ve beaten back attacks like this for half a century, and we’ll do it again — but only if we stand together.

During our 2026 Open Water fundraiser, each dollar you give will be doubled. Some of our donors believed so strongly in protecting the Boundary Waters that they put up a $150,000 matching gift. Then other clean water champions stepped up alongside them, growing that match to $300,000.
That’s collaborative effort. That’s collective growth. Now it’s your turn. 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
