Business Partnerships

Working together to protect our rivers and wild fish.

We appreciate the businesses across the region who partner with us to make a difference for our rivers.

Across Idaho, businesses partner with IRU through sponsorships, events, and more. There are so many ways for your business to partner with IRU, and we are happy to work with you to find a way for your business to make a difference for our rivers.

Please email our Development Director, Ren Lawson at ren@idahorivers.org for more information.

  • IRU hosts several events and programs annually that you can sponsor, including the Sawtooth Salmon Festival, River Steward Programs, and river clean ups.

    Reach out to find out about this year’s sponsorship opportunities.

  • This is our longest running partnership program, originally starting with our Outfitter friends. Your customers are given the option at check out or during trip payments to donate by rounding up or add a dollar a day (or more) to Idaho Rivers United, when they sign up for trips on the river that goes back to Idaho Rivers. Then businesses pass these gifts on to Idaho Rivers United at the end of season. Participating outfitters and businesses have reported that 80% of their guests choose to donate to the program. It is truly the rivers doing the work, the only cost to your business is the time to explain to your employees, and set up a recording method to reconcile the donations at the end of the season.

  • When you contribute to the Idaho Rivers United be sure to check with your employer about matching gifts. Many local companies will match up to a certain amount of monetary gifts that their employees make to non-profit organizations.
