Donations to Riverbank Neighbors help to pay for all of our supplies, including tools, wheelbarrows, seedlings, and fencing material. They support the fees to keep this website up, and the pizza we buy to feed the work crews after riverbank workdays. At times, we’ve also paid dedicated skilled staff who worked hours well beyond the regular community workdays.
The easiest way to donate is through our tax-deductible GoFundMe in partnership with NeighborSpace.
Donate to the RBN GoFundMe here.
For larger or recurring donations: We also accept tax-deductible donations through our fiscal agent, Friends of the Chicago River. Online donations to Riverbank Neighbors can be made at this link by scrolling down to the 2nd last option on the page: “Dedicate this Gift to a Friend or Loved One” and make it “in honor of Riverbank Neighbors”
By Mail: Please make checks payable to Friends of the Chicago River with a notation that the money is for Riverbank Neighbors projects. Mail to: Friends of the Chicago River 411 S. Wells Street, #800 Chicago, IL 60607
We also encourage our neighbors to join Friends of the Chicago River. We have a long history of working together with FOCR and are grateful for the great strides that have been made towards a cleaner river and the support they’ve offered for all the many riverbank sites doing similar work. Please consider also making a separate donation to Friends of the Chicago River to thank and support them!
