Wings2Water

Wings2Water started as an initiative launched by the Eastern Iowa Airport (CID) and was formed for three reasons. First, CID is one of the largest agricultural landowners in Linn County, and adapting more sustainable farming practices will help reduce runoff and pollution. Second, CID believes wetland restoration and improved farming practices, and supporting restoration projects, is vital to resolving water quality and flooding problems. Third, Wings2Water is a unique way to utilize an airport terminal marketplace to raise awareness and raise funds. Wings2Water has become a grassroots effort that provides the opportunity for the 3 million passengers and meeter-greeters to support water quality improvement projects. On March 17, 2020 Wings2Water was officially recognized as a federal 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
