All donors are thanked only as is desired.

We are currently more than half way to our goal! FBC is one of the first non-profit groups to hold a water right for instream use. Please share this fundraiser far and wide to fish and stream lovers everywhere. Donating as a holiday gift is a great way to celebrate the end of the year. If you prefer to donate by check, made out to FBC FFFF, mail your donation to Friends of Butte Creek, 2024 West Sacramento Avenue, Chico CA 95973.
The Michael Smith Salmon Water Endowment Fund
Long-time board member, close friend and fishing compadre, Michael Smith, passed away November 9, 2021. The void in our hearts is vast, but his spirit is filling it with love. He has literally been on this Friends of Butte Creek journey since the day we first met 26 years ago. I know he sits on my shoulder, flies with the eagles and swims with the salmon.
And to ensure his legacy is never forgotten, we have established the Michael Smith Salmon Water Endowment Fund with the North Valley Community Foundation. This fund will provide the annual costs of maintaining a dedicated instream water right for salmon that Friends of Butte Creek is purchasing. It will also support future stream flow enhancements that we are currently working on. Contributions can be made online, via credit card, through ACH or by check. Should you want to mail a check, the address is: 1811 Concord Avenue, Suite 220, Chico CA 95928. Please make the check out to: Michael Smith Salmon Water Endowment.
