Tuolumne River Trust Cascade Fund

A Board-Designated Endowment

The Tuolumne River Trust Cascade Fund sustains work to protect the Tuolumne River now and forever. The decisions you make today shape the future of the Tuolumne. Your investment in the Cascade Fund will create a healthy and vibrant river that is teeming with fish and wildlife; safe for drinking, fishing and swimming; welcoming for rafting, kayaking, and other river sports; and held in trust as a refuge for our children and grandchildren. With your contribution we will continue the 40-year legacy of restoring and protecting the watershed from the Sierra Nevada mountains through the Central Valley to the San Francisco Bay.


Founders’ Circle

Harrison "Hap" C. Dunning is an eminent leader and one of California’s most respected law scholars and activists. He has served on TRT’s board of directors helping guide decisions for 15 years, and dedicated over 45 years and his career to protecting lakes and rivers - two of our most important natural resources.

We extend a heartfelt thank you to the Dunning Family for providing the seed funding to create the foundation of this exciting investment in the long-term vision of TRT. Their generosity enabled us to establish the Harrison "Hap" C. Dunning Founders’ Circle in 2018 to inspire others to invest in the future of the Tuolumne River Trust.

We welcome you to join the inaugural Hap C. Dunning Founders' Circle of the Cascade Fund with your significant contribution.
