The Water Education Foundation is hosting an open house and reception on May 5 as part of the Big Day of Giving campaign.

Come visit our new office any time between 2:30 and 5:30 p.m. to meet our staff and learn more about what we do to educate and inspire understanding of California’s most precious natural resource — water.

Enjoy refreshments and appetizers while catching up on our tours, conferences, maps, water news and training programs for teachers and up-and-coming water professionals.

If you’re attending the ACWA conference that week in Sacramento and heading back to the airport Thursday afternoon, we are right on the way!

Please RSVP here.

It’s been two years since we’ve been able to host an open house in person. Please join us as we have a lot to celebrate this year, which marks the 45th anniversary of our nonprofit and 25th anniversary of our popular Water Leaders program.

The open house is held in conjunction with Big Day of Giving, an initiative of the Sacramento Region Community Foundation to grow philanthropy. It is a 24-hour online giving challenge that brings together the region’s nonprofit community to help raise much-needed unrestricted funds and shine a spotlight on the work nonprofits do.

If interested in supporting water education across California and the West, you can make your tax-deductible donation today by clicking here.
