Major Contributors

Gcrg has once again benefited from a highly successful year-end fundraising effort. We raised more than $7,500 in unrestricted funds for Grand Canyon River Guides’ coffers. These unrestricted funds allow us the flexibility to funnel money to whatever program needs it most. And remember, those kind of contributions help you too when tax time rolls around! Many thanks to the contributors below for being so very generous. Please note that a few names reflect unsolicited donations of amounts $100 and over.

Unfortunately, it isn’t possible to list absolutely everyone who has contributed to gcrg (and we are very sorry for anyone we may have inadvertently missed in the lists above). Contributions, large and small have an enormous impact on the health of our organization. Your assistance, wonderful complements and efforts on our behalf mean the world to us and keep us going. As you can imagine, expenses tend to increase over time. Support from our members in the form of dues and contributions are therefore increasingly necessary in order to maintain the high quality of the bqr as well as our other important programs. You are a part of this! Thank you so much.
