Funding, Membership and CVW's Tax Status
Clean Virginia Waterways' various projects are funded by grants
from foundations, businesses, government agencies and gifts from concerned
citizens. Since 1999, Clean Virginia Waterways (CVW) has been a statewide, nonprofit, educational program of Longwood University, a state university that has 501(c)(3) status. All donations to CVW are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. CVW follows the University's fiscal processes, and meets all the University's fiscal regulations. CVW's accounts are audited every year as part of the University's audit.
In addition to having 501(c)(3) status through the University, CVW is also incorporated as a Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation in Virginia. CVW is governed by a Board of Directors.
CVW has no formal membership dues, but donations are very appreciated and will go directly to supporting our programs. Because of our affiliation with Longwood University, which provides office space and in-kind support, CVW is extremely efficient with all donated money. Anyone can be part of CVW by donating time to the Cleanups or other activities. To volunteer for a Cleanup, click here. Or, to organize a cleanup event, see Site Captain Duties.
