Today is Big Day of Giving! Your donation will help the Water Education Foundation continue its work to enhance public understanding of our most precious natural resource in California and across the West – water.

Big Day of Giving is a 24-hour regional fundraising event that has profound benefits for our educational programs and publications on drought, floods, groundwater, snowpack, rivers and reservoirs in California and the Colorado River Basin.

Your tax-deductible donation of any size helps support our tours, scholarships, teacher training workshops, free access to our daily water newsfeed and more. You have until midnight to help us reach our $10,000 fundraising goal!

Donate here by midnight!

More Than a Donation!

• Your donation helps raise our visibility with other donors and improves our chances of earning prizes on the Big Day of Giving.

Do You Want to Send a Check Instead? Your Donation Can Still Count!

• If you’d rather send a check instead of giving a donation online, please email Marilyn Lapkass, our operations manager, so we can count your donation toward our goal. Then send your check to Water Education Foundation, 2151 River Plaza Drive, Suite 205, Sacramento, CA 95833.

Stop By Our Open House This Afternoon

• Don’t forget to stop by our open house this afternoon from 2 to 6 p.m. at our office near the Sacramento River. You can meet our team, enjoy happy hour refreshments, and learn more about our programs and publications and what we have in store for the fall. You’re welcome to bring a guest. Everyone who attends will get their choice of a water map or guide!
