Sustainable Funding
The Arizona Cross-Watershed Network provides capacity to local watershed groups, resulting in critical on-the-ground projects being implemented. We maintain a project pipeline, connect projects to funding, foster partnerships, and facilitate dialogue between practitioners and funders.
