There is no need to wait to show your love for the Water Education Foundation! Starting today, you can donate to our Big Day of Giving campaign and help us reach our fundraising goal of $15,000 by May 2.

Big Day of Giving is a 24-hour online fundraising marathon for nonprofits. Donations will benefit our programs and publications across California and the West.

Here are just a few things your donation will help us accomplish in 2024:

• Expand Project WET teacher training workshops to benefit K-12 students throughout California.
• Update our Layperson’s Guide to Water Recycling at a time when the drought-weary West is looking to stretch its water supplies.
• Continue free access to our Western Water news coverage and daily water newsfeed known as Aquafornia.
• Provide scholarships for our tours, events and workshops so everyone can learn about the West’s most critical natural resource.

Donate here and learn more about our campaign.

Attend our Open House!

We are hosting an open house on May 2, and anyone can stop by our office between 3:30 and 6:30 to enjoy happy hour refreshments, get to know our programs and team  and network with Foundation fans from across the water world!

Our open house is part of our Big Day of Giving campaign. No donation is necessary to attend our open house. However, if you love our programs and want to show your appreciation, we encourage you to help us reach our $15,000 fundraising goal by May 2.

We want to make sure we have plenty of refreshments for our guests so please RSVP here by April 29!
