Support the Potomac River Recovery Fund

In the wake of the 2026 Potomac Interceptor sewage spill, your support is more important than ever.

Potomac Conservancy is leading CLEAR Potomac, a new Coalition for Long-term Environmental Accountability & Restoration. Fueled by community support, we’re working with partners to demand accountability, expanded water safety testing, and long-term solutions to restore the Potomac River and its reputation.

Donate today to help us protect the Potomac River and our community!
