Help us protect our water supply by donating.

Protecting Chehalem Mountain's water supply depends on an informed community. The more residents understand about their water rights, the monitoring network, and the legal processes that affect their wells, the stronger our collective voice becomes. Donations help us reach more neighbors — through meetings, materials, and direct outreach — so no one is caught off guard when decisions are made that affect their water.

Many grant programs require organizations to demonstrate community support through matching funds before they'll consider an application. Your donation doesn't just fund our current work — it unlocks access to larger funding sources that can significantly expand what CMWC is able to do. The Tualatin Soil and Water Conservation District grant that funded our monitoring network is one example of what becomes possible when we have the resources to pursue it.

The water rights process is technical and legally complex. When CMWC engages in formal proceedings — like the Stoller/Redhills Reservoir case — we rely on attorneys and water resources engineers who know how to make our concerns count on the record. That expertise doesn't come free, but it's what turns community concern into legally meaningful intervention. Your donation funds the professionals who make that possible.
