The foundation of the Rio Grande Water Fund is our partners, signatories, and executive committee. Decisions are made using a participatory process outlined in our collaborative charter. Currently, 88 signatories–a diverse mix of private and public organizations– have signed on to the charter. Project funding decisions are made by an executive committee. Twice a year, signatories and partners gather to update everyone on progress and learn from each other.
