Support RiverKin
RiverKin keeps urban rivers seen — spotting the sites that need a look, turning five-minute field checks into verified, standardised data that cities and scientists can act on. It is built and run by a tiny team. Your support pays for the hosting, maps and AI that keep it running, and the work to reach more rivers.
Sponsor the open-source project
RiverKin's code is open source. Sponsoring on GitHub directly backs development of a public good — the map, the field-check loop, the verification engine and the open data export — and your sponsorship is public recognition on the project.
Make a one-off contribution
Prefer to give directly? A contribution of any size helps cover a month of hosting or a city's map tiles. Payments are handled securely by Razorpay.
RiverKin is a project of Xphora AI Technology Pvt Ltd, a company — not a registered charity — so contributions are not tax-deductible and are not treated as charitable donations. They simply support the project's running costs and development.
Sponsor a city or partner with us
Universities, water utilities, municipalities, foundations and companies can sponsor a pilot city or fund a feature — with logo placement, access to the open dataset and a co-branded river-health report in return. If your organisation works on water, climate or civic tech, we'd love to talk.
No money? Still huge help.
- Run a field check on a river near you and share it.
- Tell a teacher — a class crew can monitor a local stream all term.
- Share a guide on X, YouTube or Instagram.
