New River Community Action Fund
We will be able to help towns and local governments find funding and offer a cash with a cash match as they compete for grants that will drive reconstruction of the river access, parks and public lands that New River communities rely on.

In much of the Southern Appalachians Hurricane Helene had a devastating impact on communities, public lands and the New River itself.
In the aftermath, members of every community have stepped up to do their part, and grown to meet the moment.
We’re asking you to champion the small businesses that were directly impacted by the hurricane. Shopkeepers, brewers and restaurant owners immediately stepped up to lead rescue efforts. They need our help.
Direct support for the business embedded in these deeply impacted communities will go far in the recovery.
If you know of a business in the New River Watershed that has put community before their own business, please send an email to Lisa Stansell- Galitz at lisa@newriverconservancy.org
