Donate to protect the environment
Rivers are a source of beauty and pleasure! They allow us to experience nature differently, whether by kayak, canoe or any other non-motorized boat.
The Fondation Rivières wishes to honor this connection by taking concrete actions in favor of their access, the preservation of their natural character and the quality of the water.
You can choose the river of your choice to adopt.
By adopting a river, you :
- Support the Fondation Rivières so that it can act in its favor;
- Join an important mobilization movement of citizens for whom this river is dear. So if you have one to choose, think about the one that left an impression on you and for which you would be ready to take action if necessary, if you feel like it!
Charity receipt
Fondation Rivières issues tax-deductible donation receipts, regardless of the amount. A receipt will be sent to you by email at the beginning of the year following the year of your adoption.

Adopt a river, 20 years later
Adopt a River was originally an operation to prevent the government from destroying 36 falls to build private hydroelectric dams. In 2001, around a hundred demonstrators and around sixty artists mobilized, saving a large part of these falls, in addition to contributing to the emergence of ecotourism projects.
