2025 Open House & Reception
Stop by our office near the Sacramento River to meet our team, learn about programs & publications
The Water Education Foundation is
hosting an open house and reception on May 1 as part of the
Big Day of Giving campaign.
Visit our office any time between 3:30 and 6:30 p.m. to meet our team and learn more about what we do to educate and inspire understanding of the most precious natural resource in California and across the West — water!
Enjoy happy hour refreshments and appetizers while catching up on our latest tours, conferences, maps, water news and training programs for teachers and up-and-coming water professionals.
The event is free, but please RSVP by April 29!
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.
No donation is necessary to attend our open house but if you love our work and want to support it, we encourage you to help us reach our $10,000 fundraising goal by making your tax-deductible donation here.
Here are just a few things your gift will help us accomplish in 2025:
- Host an all-new Klamath River Tour.
- Publish an update to our Layperson’s Guide to the Delta and starting work on updating our California Water guide in both English and Spanish.
- Expand Project WET teacher training workshops throughout California.
- Continue free public access to our Western Water news coverage and our daily newsfeed.
- Award scholarships for our tours, events & workshops.
