Make a difference today
Your support helps us to make rivers plastic-free.
Our mission is to stop plastic before it ends up in nature. With your help, we can make 1000 rivers plastic-free by 2050 and activate people in the fight against plastic pollution!
How can you help?
You can make a one-off or recurring donation, or you can organize a fundraiser, for example for your birthday, wedding or an important sports event. Your contribution enables us to achieve our mission by cleaning rivers, changing behavior and accelerating societal change.
For donations of €40 or more, you can get a tax certificate via our fund at the King Baudouin Foundation. The tax benefit (on an annual basis) is 45% of the donated amount. This means that if you donate €100, for example, it will only cost you €55. It’s another good reason to make rivers plastic-free.
If you want a tax certificate, it's important to donate online via the King Baudouin Foundation.
Donate for clean rivers
I donate because rivers give life to our planet, and River Cleanup wants to restore their health and beauty. - individual donor Jean Louis
Three ways to make a difference
Compensate your plastic footprint
Did you know a EU citizen produces on average 36.1 kilos of plastic waste per year? Only half of this gets recycled effectively.
Donate and compensate for your plastic footprint. You can take action today and contribute to plastic-free rivers.

Celebration fundraiser
Got something to celebrate? A birthday? A wedding or birth? Ask for a donation instead of a wrapped present. Let your friends and family give you a clean river as a gift! With your own fundraiser for clean rivers, you can keep track of who is donating and how much you have already collected together.
Legacy giving
Do you want to invest in a plastic-free future? You can give future generations a life without plastic pollution. Did you know plastic particles can be found in our food, drinks, and even in the air we breathe? Our nature and bodies are polluted with plastics, but we can turn the tide. Include River Cleanup in your will and let your values and activism live on.
