Volunteer Engagement Fees
One of the largest river cleanups in the country, the Charles River Cleanup draws more than 4,500 volunteers. This complex event requires materials and coordination from the Cleanup’s program partners – all nonprofit organizations working to improve water and greenspace quality in the greater Boston area. Because of this, we ask our corporate and for-profit volunteer groups to support our management of this great event with a tax-deductible donation to the organization hosting your work site. This donation is mandatory and is based on the size of your group. Similarly, we ask that individuals and non-profit participants consider supporting the event with an optional donation. All donations are fully tax-deductible and support the Charles River Cleanup and the missions of our partner organizations. Thank you!
