In 1999, a consortium of agencies joined together to create Splash in order to improve local water quality through education. The Water Quality Consortium is comprised of the:
Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District
Sacramento County Department of Water Resources
City of Sacramento Department of Utilities
The Splash Trustees are not content to merely attend board meetings and go through the motions. These individuals sit on our board because they believe passionately in the Splash mission.
The staff of Sacramento Splash are not merely employees. Together with the Splash Board of Trustees, we are also the organization's first donors.
In 2009-10, Splash launched its fundraising program by asking every teacher in the Elementary Program to take a financial stake in our mission to connect children to their natural world through scientific investigation and outdoor exploration.
A generous contribution of labor and materials from Teichert Aggregates converted a weedy landscape at the Splash Education Center into our attractive native plant garden. Because it requires little water, no fertilizer, and no mowing, Teichert has helped us reduce our contribution of pollutants to the environment and our reliance on water and energy.
