Made possible thanks to generous funders… like you?

Help keep our community water science platform free, open, and growing.

Why your support matters

Our data platform exists to give communities a free, reliable way to collect, store, and share their water quality data. It’s made possible thanks to the generosity of funders, sponsors, and individual donors who share our vision.

Every observation, graph, and downloadable dataset takes resources to maintain — from servers and software updates to building new features that make the platform more useful. We work with talented developers and designers who give us exceptional value, often donating their time or offering discounted rates.

By supporting this platform, you’re helping keep it open for everyone while enabling us to grow and adapt with the needs of our community scientists.

Ways to give

Donate monthly — a small monthly gift keeps the platform sustainable year-round.
Sponsor the platform — partner with us to expand our reach and impact.
Make a one-time gift — every contribution helps cover hosting and development costs.

Current and past supporters
