Why Become a Friend of the Center?
The Center has proven itself to be the leading source of information and training for stormwater management, watershed restoration, and environmentally-sensitive development, but we continue to tackle complex or unique circumstances through ambitious and urgently-needed projects and research.
You would be helping us continue to make the science of watershed protection available to people all over the country who work for the health of their watersheds. Our resources are used by hundreds of people every day...maybe even by you!
When you join the Friends of the Center and contribute* at least $50, you'll get some great benefits:
- A 10% discount on all publications for a full year
- A full year of Center news and updates through the quarterly electronic newsletter, “Runoff Rundown”
- Advance notice of special events
- Recognition on our website and annual report as a Friend of the Center
- And an additional thank-you gift of a Center t-shirt for donations of at least $250!

Perhaps more importantly, you’ll get the good feeling that comes with knowing you've taken real action to help protect our nation’s waters!
