You can help to improve and preserve our treasured Chesapeake Bay, its rivers, streams, forests, and other natural resources in our region. The Trust does not fund advocacy or legal activity: we focus instead on on-the-ground education and restoration work, making measurable impacts for a cleaner, healthier Chesapeake Bay watershed.

We are proud to report that the Trust has earned a 4-star charity rating, the highest possible, for 14 consecutive years by Charity Navigator, a national charity evaluator.  Ninety-two cents of every dollar goes directly to projects and educational programs in the community. As a result, you can rest assured that your donation will be used wisely for what you intended: to help restore the Chesapeake Bay and its rivers and streams.
