When you donate to River Discovery, you’re doing way more than just funding a boat ride—you’re sponsoring a massive dose of Vitamin N (Nature!) for cancer survivors. Your support swaps hospital walls for canyon walls and treatment cycles for river sunsets. From the splash of the first rapid to the quiet magic of a riverside campfire, your gift provides the "fuel" for survivors to rediscover their strength, find their tribe, and scream with joy at the top of their lungs.
Our trips are always full. Waiting lists for the longer trips in particular are long. Help us get more people off the sidelines and into the current!
High-Five Moments: You fund the "I did it!" breakthroughs that happen in the heart of a rapid.
Epic Escapes: Your gift provides a much-needed break from the stress of scans and appointments into the most treasured landscapes of Idaho. The strength participants find through the whitewater, the laughter and the simple beauty found in these canyons are priceless.
Community Vibes: The friends and relationships don't end when the trip is over. You’re building a fleet of support for survivors where no one has to paddle alone.
Want to help us make a splash? There are plenty of ways to jump in and support our mission. Whether you’re clearing out your craft closet or just doing your weekly grocery run, your contributions keep our programs afloat!
Every year, we host two high-energy fundraising events, and our auctions are always the highlight! Do you have a "wow" item, a unique service, or a cool experience you’d like to gift? Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a local gift card, your donation helps us raise the funds needed to get survivors on the water.
Ready to give? Give us a shout at 208-303-0040 or drop a line to info@riverdiscovery.org.
What if you could support River Discovery just by grabbing your morning milk? It’s as easy as a swipe! Simply link your Shopper’s Card to River Discovery (Organization Number: SD103), and a portion of your grocery bill goes directly toward our river adventures—at no extra cost to you.
Pro Tip: Link it once, and you’re a hero every time you shop!
Watch the story, then help us write the next chapter. River Discovery continues to serve survivors for 19 years and counting with the healing benefits of the river and the outdoors. HELP US MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
