Headwaters Charitable Trust is a small non-profit based in Curwensville, Pennsylvania, that works to restore water quality, improve fish habitat, and expand rural water access for fire protection. Since its founding, the organization has supported 172 projects, with about 65% addressing water quality improvements, fishery restoration, and rural water access. The charity’s name reflects its founders’ ties to the headwaters of the Genesee, Susquehanna, and Allegheny River systems. Over roughly three decades, Headwaters Charitable Trust has raised more than $13.7 million to benefit rural communities. In 2016, the board shifted toward highlighting the economic impacts of restoration under the tagline Employment, Enjoyment, Ecology, emphasizing a restoration economy that creates green-collar jobs in water management, recreational development, and agricultural sustainability. In 2022, Headwaters Charitable Trust launched Show Us Your Local, a Northwest Pennsylvania initiative designed to connect local residents with local products.
