Alignment with the Delaware River Watershed Initiative

The Partnership for the Delaware Estuary (PDE; the coordinating organization for the SAN) and SAN partners became a part of the William Penn Foundation’s (WPF) Delaware River Watershed Initiative (DRWI). The WPF invested $35 million in eight targeted geographies, or “clusters,” to protect and restore the Delaware River Basin’s water quality and overall health. There are three clusters that are fully or partially within the Schuylkill River Watershed: Schuylkill Highlands, Middle Schuylkill, and Upstream Suburban Philadelphia.
