Riverlife’s Headwaters Circle

Help build a legacy of support for Pittsburgh’s riverfronts through our major giving society.

Since Riverlife was founded in 1999, dedicated support from the community has been essential in our efforts to transform Pittsburgh’s riverfronts.

Thanks to the generous, sustained support of individual donors, we’ve been able to turn a community vision into a massive, 15-mile, 1,000+ acre loop of waterfront parks and open spaces. Project by project, Riverlife’s momentum is fueled by donors who are as inspired by the potential of Pittsburgh’s three rivers as we are.

When you become a Headwaters Circle donor, you’re joining a group of families and individuals that have come together to build a future for Pittsburgh’s riverfronts. Headwaters Circle donors are invited to special behind-the-scenes receptions and tours of riverfront park and real estate projects, activities like our Virtual Coffee Chat series, boat tours, memorable family volunteer opportunities, and more.

Ways to give that fit your preferences.

If you would like to become a Headwaters Circle major donor, please contact Sarah Spiegel, Director of Development, at sarah@riverlifepgh.org or 412-258-6636 x 110, or make your donation online now.

Some Headwaters Circle donors choose to give their gifts in a single annual amount, while others utilize our convenient monthly giving option to spread their giving in smaller amounts throughout the year.

In addition to our online options, there are several other ways to give:
