Following the organization's massive success in removing over 25,000 pounds of litter and debris from our ecosystems in our first year, hundreds of volunteers and staff members mobilized once again to prevent thousands of pounds of pollutants from further impacting our environment and ecosystems in Year 2. In addition to the many ongoing volunteer litter cleanups throughout the year, staff members participated in dozens of staff cleanups throughout South Florida neighborhoods and local waterways. Through this program, we responded to environmental concerns and other reports by members of the community in collaboration and coordination with municipal leaders. We continued to participate in local and regional Adopt-A-Street and Adopt-A-Drain programs that were initiated in Year 1. Waterway Advocates, Inc., utilized electronic means like monthly and additional newsletters to over 500 subscribers, and a website with at least 1,905 unique visitors within the year, to mobilize community…

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $70 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
