Private support will be critical to the Riverwalk’s continued implementation. The Riverwalk Alliance is grateful for the support of two important organizations that served as fiscal agents for the project: The Brunswick Rotary Club and, more recently, SaveOurSwingingBridge.org, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. SaveOurSwingingBridge.org dissolved in 2023, so the assets of the Androscoggin Riverwalk Alliance are being held temporarily while the Alliance establishes a new 501(c)(3) nonprofit. All donations to the Riverwalk continue to be tax-deductible.
A Maine Department of Transportation Quality Community Program (2010-2011 funding cycle) grant to the Town of Topsham with a generous local match of $24,000 from the Fore River Foundation and additional monies raised by the Riverwalk Advisory Committee funded improvements to the Topsham portion between the Swinging Bridge and Summer Street. In addition, the Advisory Committee has received funding from the Davis Conservation Foundation and significant planning grants from the Alfred M. Senter Fund and the National Park Service as well as generous in-kind support from area businesses and professionals during the start-up phase of the project.
We welcome donations of any size in support of the Riverwalk. Please make checks payable to the Town of Brunswick.
