​Invest in Clean Water. Invest in Our Community.

The Marble-Coldwater Chain of Lakes is one of Branch County’s most valuable natural resources, supporting recreation, tourism, property values, local businesses, and the quality of life we all enjoy.

Protecting these lakes requires more than good intentions. Water quality monitoring, watershed planning, education, and restoration efforts require funding, partnerships, and community support.

By becoming a sponsor, your business demonstrates leadership and a commitment to preserving the lakes that attract visitors, support local commerce, and enhance our community. Your investment helps provide the scientific data, education, and long-term planning needed to protect these waters for future generations.
When local businesses support clean water, they are investing in healthy lakes, a stronger economy, and a vibrant community.

Join us in protecting the Marble-Coldwater Chain of Lakes.
Together, we can keep our waters clean, our communities thriving, and our lakes healthy for generations to come.

Your sponsorship does more than support our organization. It helps us build the local matching funds required to compete for the watershed management planning grant. Many grant programs require communities to demonstrate a financial commitment before they will invest in a project. Every local sponsorship brings us one step closer to meeting that requirement.
Because of your generosity, we're closer to securing the funding needed to develop a comprehensive Watershed Management Plan that will help protect water quality, recreation, wildlife habitat, and property values throughout the South Chain of Lakes.
​
Thank you for investing in the future of our lakes and our community. We couldn't do this without partners like you!

Thank you to our Monitoring Partners

​We are grateful to the Coldwater Lake Association and the Marble Chain Improvement Association for their generous contributions toward our monitoring efforts. Monitoring water quality across seven lakes can be costly, and with their support, we are able to conduct the comprehensive testing and tracking necessary to protect and preserve the health of our lakes. Their partnership helps ensure that we have the data needed to guide effective stewardship and safeguard these waters for the community and future generations.  

Thank you to our In-Kind Impact Sponsors

We sincerely thank our In-Kind Sponsors who have helped us spread the word about the Marble-Coldwater Clean Water Partnership through branding, on-air interviews, publications, and other promotional support. These generous contributions have helped us build awareness and reach more people in our community.
