The Klamath River Fund works to advance climate resilience, community resilience, and restorative justice within the Klamath River Basin, which stretches from Klamath Lake in eastern Oregon to the Northern California coast. The Fund was formed in 2024 in response to the removal of four dams along the Klamath River, the largest dam removal and restoration project in U.S. history, which will have significant impacts for river and ecosystem health, economic and workforce development, revitalization of Tribal and rural communities, and restorative justice to Tribes and Indigenous people who have lived along the river since time immemorial.  With a 10-year timeframe following the initial dam removal, The Klamath River Fund increases philanthropic and public funding to the basin and facilitates grantmaking, strategy coordination, and technical assistance to support Tribal and local community-driven restoration and revitalization priorities.
