Maximizing Funds to Restore California Salmon

85% of our budget supports salmon restoration programs. The remaining 15% indirectly supports that critical program work.

Golden State Salmon Association relies upon foundation grants and its supporting members comprised of people just like you including commercial and recreational fishermen and women, businesses, conservationists, and concerned residents in California and beyond who understand that the state’s salmon population is a keystone species for people, wildlife and a functional Bay-Delta ecosystem.
