Minnesota Trout Unlimited is the leading voice, and YOUR VOICE, advocating for coldwater fisheries and watersheds in Minnesota and the region.

On average each year, we put over $1 million in state and federal grants to work restoring streams and improving habitat in Minnesota.  Our goal this year is to raise $100,000 to cover internal staff expenses required to obtain these vast public funds.  That means your gift will be multiplied 10 times and put directly to work improving Minnesota habitat.  Talk about powerful leverage!  You would be hard-pressed to find a better deal for your conservation dollar than Minnesota Trout Unlimited.

Minnesota Trout Unlimited is responsible for our own fundraising to support our operations.  We receive nothing from TU’s national fundraising campaigns and depend entirely upon direct donations from supporters like you.
