American Rivers is a Washington, DC-based nonprofit focused on protecting wild rivers, restoring damaged waterways, and conserving clean water for people and nature. Since its founding in 1973, it has helped protect and restore more than 150,000 miles of rivers through advocacy, on-the-ground projects, and the annual America's Most Endangered Rivers campaign. Its work targets river communities and partners that rely on healthy waterways, offering coordinated advocacy and restoration efforts through a nationwide network. The organization maintains a national footprint with offices across the United States and a large base of members, supporters, and volunteers. In 2026, American Rivers appointed Brian Kurzel as Vice President of Regions, reflecting leadership expansion across its regional programs.
