The Sustainability Fund
WaterWays celebrates 20 years! To honor the work that has gone before and to sustain the work for the next 20 years and beyond, the WaterWays Board of Directors announced the establishment of an endowment fund, the WaterWays Sustainability Fund, which will be housed with the Community Foundation of Greater Chattanooga. Long time board member Robert Blenker is excited to be able offer the first gift of stock to kick off the fund,
“It is astounding to witness the growth of this nonprofit from the glimpse of an idea into a thriving organization specializing in education and restoration of our streams and rivers. The staff is doing an incredible job and I want to support them long-term.”
“After much research, we chose the Community Foundation because of their great reputation and the incredible breadth of services they provide. With a small staff, that was a critical piece to the Board’s decision, “ elaborated Mary Beth Sutton, Executive Director. “It is so exciting to make this leap forward on our 20th anniversary. We like to say we started as a ripple 20 years ago…..and now we’re making waves!”
