We advocate for resilient solutions informed by science, grounded in nature, & powered by community.
In 2009 the Spokane Riverkeeper was formed as a project of the nonprofit organization, Center for Justice by a small group of lawyers fed up with polluters abusing the Spokane River. They recognized the hands-on approach that values a presence on the river and uncompromising advocacy. Over the years, our work stopped numerous forms of pollution and set the initiative on getting the Spokane River cleaned up and protected.
In March of 2020, the Center for Justice closed its doors and the Spokane Riverkeeper formed a Board of Directors and became its own, independent nonprofit organization. We are now free-standing with a 501(c)(3) Number, a growing staff, and dedicated board of directors.
