The Water Education Foundation is the only impartial organization
educating people about water issues in California and the
Southwest.
We want to be your resource for in-depth, impartial information
on drought, water rights, environmental restoration and water
quality. Your annual contribution helps us to publish
Western
Water news, which examines pressing issues in
California and along the Colorado River; continue adding terms
to Aquapedia, our
online water encyclopedia; maintain our daily news update on
Aquafornia; publish
new titles in our Layperson’s Guide series and update them;
help develop the next generation of water
leaders with our leadership programs in California and
the Colorado River Basin; conduct tours of key water
sites in California and the Southwest, and organize
special events. Funds from our contributors also support our
K-12 school programs, which annually reach more
than 200,000 students.
As a nonprofit, we are grateful for donations of any size. Our
work would not be possible without your support! Donations
are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Our Giving Back Contribution Plan with multiple
levels of support kicks in with a $100 donation. You can see the
benefits of donation levels as you scroll down this page.
You can make a tax-deductible donation in honor or memory of
someone while supporting water education in California and across
the West.
Your donation will help us carry out our mission to create a
better understanding of water resources and foster public
understanding and resolution of water resource issues through
facilitation, education and outreach.
Planned Giving refers to the process of making a charitable gift
of estate assets to a nonprofit organization of your choice.
Through this process, you can help to ensure that water education
continues in your name. For more information on leaving a legacy
