The non-profit company is based in Austin, TX. The alliance focuses on education, community engagement, and stewardship, reaching approximately 14,000 people annually through programs such as educational field trips at the Wilkerson Center for Education, the Mobile River Traveling Water Science Center, and the Groundwater to the Gulf Summer Institute for educators. These programs aim to empower Texans with knowledge and tools to protect the river’s health, emphasizing sustainable water use and conservation. The organization involves the community through volunteer opportunities like creek and lake cleanups and hosts events such as an annual fundraising gala. It also promotes water conservation through initiatives like the water pledge and partners with entities such as the Lower Colorado River Authority. The Colorado River Alliance is a nonprofit organization founded in 1994 dedicated to promoting the long-term vitality and conservation of the Colorado River, an 800-mile waterway that supports the state's economy, environment, agriculture, and communities.
