Strategy overview
To help achieve our goal, McKnight's river work employs three strategies:
 |
Restore and protect floodplains and wetlands in the 10-state Mississippi River corridor. |
|
Reduce agricultural pollution in four states along the northern half of the river (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois), focusing on farmland and operations with high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus run-off. |
|
In the 10-state Mississippi River corridor, achieve cross-boundary and interagency coordination (among government agencies) that improves the river's water quality and resilience. |
We periodically refine our program guidelines. We encourage you to call the Foundation at 612-333-4220 to discuss your ideas with a program officer and to learn more about the strategies we're pursuing.
