The Foundation is the only impartial organization educating people about water issues in California and the West.
We want to be your resource for in-depth, impartial information on such issues as environmental restoration, water rights and water quality. Your annual contribution helps us publish Western Water and River Report; publish new and revised/updated titles in our Layperson's Guide series; develop public television documentaries and educational videos; conduct water tours; and organize special events. Funds from our contributors also support our K-12 school programs, which annually reach more than 200,000 students.
The Foundation offers a Giving Back Contribution Plan with multiple levels of support. With your generous contribution of $100, as a Foundation Individual, you will receive:

Planned Giving is another way you can support the Water Education Foundation. 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 to the Foundation click here or, contact Beth Stern.
