Like most charitable organizations, the "Friends of the Tay Watershed" relies on donations to cover much of our operating expenditures, as well as our programs to protect the watershed and our Water Guardian Bursary program for deserving local students. Our other sources of revenue include membership fees, fundraisers and grants. We also rely heavily on volunteer effort to carry out as much of our program as humanly possible.

Thanks to the generosity of those who care about the health of the Tay Watershed, we are able to to carry out a significant amount of work through their donations. Donations vary in size and all are appreciated and wisely utilized. Because we are a registered charitable organization, we will provide tax receipts for all donations of $10 or more.
