Stroud Water Research Center – the Avondale-based nonprofit that seeks to advance knowledge and stewardship of freshwater systems through global research, education, and watershed restoration – has announced a $1 million challenge match grant sponsored by Rod and Alice Moorhead to benefit the Bernard W. Sweeney, Ph.D., Executive Director’s Fund.

The Center has been gathering support for the Fund to implement new strategies to share its findings with peers in the scientific and educational communities and with businesses, landowners, policymakers, and individuals to help make informed decisions affecting global water quality and availability.

While traditional research grants keep Stroud Water Research Center at the cutting edge of freshwater science, being a global leader in its field takes more financial agility and foresight than grant funding provides. The fund provides the executive director discretionary resources to advance strategic internal initiatives that may have narrow windows of opportunity for achieving high returns on investment in research, education, and watershed restoration.

Meeting the $1 million challenge match grant for the Bernard W. Sweeney, Ph.D., Executive Director’s Fund with an overall institutional goal of $5 million will ensure the Stroud Center retains global leadership in the rapidly advancing world of freshwater science.

For more than 50 years, the Stroud Center has focused on one thing — clean fresh water — and it knows that is only possible because of its friends. Your support will make a difference throughout the community, and a gift to this fund will provide an impact to our future endeavors to protect fresh water.
