Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The mission of the downstream project is to help protect watersheds by promoting awareness, alliance, and action through creative technology and communication. The downstream project's vision is a chesapeake bay community of passionate people connected to their local watersheds. Downstream is a nonprofit team of professional graphic artists, web developers, video producers, copy writers, and database experts. We protect watersheds by promoting awareness, alliance, and action. We do this by supporting partners--helping them strengthen their identities, share their stories, build digital platforms for activism, and manage their donors and events more efficiently. As a nonprofit, downstream can share project costs with partners from our own public funds. Contributions to downstream enable us to help people and organizations do more to protect water. The downstream project is an approved national fish and wildlife foundation (nfwf) technical service provider.
