Iowa Whitewater Coalition is an affiliate club of American Whitewater. That relationship started in 2004, and (literally) paid off quickly when American Whitewater selected IWC to receive a $500 grant through its ClifBar 2004 grant program. IWC's membership can directly benefit you, too! Your IWC membership entitles you to a $10 discount for your AW membership. For $25 (regularly $35), you'll receive the magazine American Whitewater Journal quarterly and help support some of your favorite whitewater rivers nationwide. Click here to learn more about American Whitewater. Only paid IWC members are entitled to this benefit. Request your AW membership promotion code after paying the current year's IWC membership. Then go to AW's website to join AW.
