The Schuylkill River Conservation Fund was created in 2006 through a unique public/private partnership between Exelon Nuclear, the Delaware River Basin Commission and the Schuylkill River Greenways National Heritage Area.

Since being established in 2006, the fund has distributed more than $4 million–and leveraged another $5 million–for more than 110 projects that protect and restore the Schuylkill River.

The Schuylkill River Restoration Fund is funded through public/private partnerships and relies on donations from numerous organizations and individuals. Click Here to donate to the fund.
