Becoming a member of ORK allows us to continue the important work of testing water quality, sharing stories from the watershed, fighting legal battles, providing recreational guidance, and coordinating cleanup efforts in our 5,500 square-mile territory across 20 Georgia counties. Having a strong team behind us shows that our constituents support our work.
An anonymous donor has issued a $10,000 matching challenge for membership month.
Any gifts made between June 1–30, 2026 from NEW donors will have triple the impact. So, if you give $75—the cost of an annual household membership—it will be matched with $150, making the total donation to ORK $225!
Already a member? You’re covered too. Any CURRENT donor will have their donation doubled! So, a $100 gift will be matched by $100 to have twice the impact.
June is the best time to sign up or renew your membership—and have your gift go even further. Make your gift by June 30 so we can secure an extra $10,000 to help us keep fighting for clean, safe waterways.
In addition to the various members-only perks, like special events, discounts, and more, adding your name to our membership list is critical to our legislative efforts and grant applications. Please consider becoming a member today. ORK also has options for corporate sponsorships.
Not able to give at this time? There are many ways to support ORK through advocacy, volunteering and engagement. It takes efforts on many fronts to maintain the successes of our organization.
