Proud to Support River Reach Foundation as a Donor for Riverfest 2024
The SBi Giving Foundation is proud to contribute to organizations that make a meaningful and unique impact within our communities. We are delighted to highlight our support of Riverfest 2024, an annual fundraiser for the River Reach Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to the protection, promotion, and enhancement of Farmington’s riverine corridors. Here’s a look at some of the outstanding projects and initiatives the River Reach Foundation undertakes for the betterment of our community.
Trail Development
The River Reach Foundation has been instrumental in expanding Farmington’s trail system. Through land donations, easements, and the brokering of land sales to the City of Farmington, the foundation has significantly contributed to the development of new trails. They have successfully written and received grants and collaborated with the City of Farmington and the Parks and Recreation Department to plan future trails. These efforts ensure improved access to our beautiful rivers, providing more opportunities for residents and visitors to enjoy the natural beauty of the Four Corners region.
River, Park, and Trail Improvement
Preserving and protecting the resources provided by our rivers is a core objective of the River Reach Foundation. The foundation regularly organizes river and trail clean-up projects, park improvements, and river stabilization initiatives. These activities not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of our natural surroundings but also ensure the long-term health and sustainability of our river ecosystems.
Recreational Opportunities Along the Rivers
The River Reach Foundation is dedicated to promoting recreational activities that highlight the beauty and fun of our river corridors. They host a variety of expeditions, including rafting and water trail adventures. Signature events like Riverfest and Riverglo attract thousands of participants each year, fostering a strong sense of community and providing memorable experiences for all who attend.
Economic Opportunities for Our Communities
The annual events organized by the River Reach Foundation are not only enjoyable but also vital for the local economy. Drawing over 30,000 people annually, these events provide significant economic opportunities for Farmington. Local businesses benefit from the increased foot traffic, and the community as a whole enjoys the economic boost from tourism and event-related activities.
SBi Giving Foundation is honored to make a donation that supports the River Reach Foundation in its vital work. Their dedication to enhancing and protecting Farmington’s riverine corridors aligns perfectly with our mission to enhance the well-being and quality of life within our rural and Tribal communities. Together, we are making a difference that will serve generations to come!
