The Riverwalk Merchants Association, a non-profit coalition of 40+ energetic business owners located along the Riverwalk in Downtown Reno raises money to donate to the beautification and rehabilitation of downtown Reno. The (RWMA) has developed the Beautification program with the goal that funds can be raised that would allow the association to complete the maintenance and rehabilitation of our most valuable neighborhood, by removing the overgrown weeds, re-landscape the neglected medians, oversee maintenance of the parks and streets, install public art, support public events and continue our goal to promote Downtown Reno as a cultural, safe, and family-friendly area.

Every dollar raised will help establish a safer and cleaner area downtown by improving signage, repairing damaged artwork, generating cleaning programs and proposing new landscaping concepts. Anyone can donate funds and all donations can be made through the website or mailed directly to the Association.
