Clean Virginia Waterways
Donors and sponsors make Clean Virginia Waterways' year-round work on reducing plastic pollution in our waterways possible. CVW depends on supporters like YOU!
CVW is uniquely positioned to make real and long-lasting improvements to combat the ever-growing tide of plastic waste in Virginia’s environment.
Invest in Cleaner Waterways for Virginia!
Since 1995, CVW has been a trusted leader in tackling the sources and impacts of marine debris, litter, and plastic pollution through our research, outreach, campaigns, reports, and annual statewide cleanup events (part of the International Coastal Cleanup organized by Ocean Conservancy).
Clean Virginia Waterways is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
CVW's mission to enhance the health of Virginia's water resources is accomplished through pollution prevention, education and stewardship activities. While CVW is extremely cost-effective, these programs require gifts from people and corporations that care about our water quality.
Your gift to Clean Virginia Waterways will make a difference!
$150 can clean hundreds of pounds of trash from a river through equipping volunteers for the International Coastal Cleanup in Virginia.
$100 can help CVW’s research into balloon litter, microplastics and extended producer responsibility.
$35 can provide educational materials to classroom teachers, businesses and our partners.
Sponsorship opportunities for the 2026 ICC and the Keep It Beachy Clean litter prevention program are also available.
CVW's projects are funded by gifts, workshop fees and grants from foundations, businesses and government agencies.
