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
For the second year in a row, the Beta Pi Society has generously sponsored training workshops for teachers new to the Elementary Program: Investigating Vernal Pools with a contribution of $3,000.
The local chapter of the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) generously supports the educational and outreach activities of Splash, giving a $2500 donation in 2010/11.
Our gratitude to the SWAN Giving Circle for selecting Splash as the charity beneficiary of their August meeting. Twenty civic-minded ladies banded together to invest $660 in Splash programs that help local children connect with nature and learn science.
Splash would like to thank the Sacramento Valley Veterinary Medical Association Charitable Foundation for investing $1,000 toward the care and feeding of our animal friends in Critterville.
The GenCorp Foundation (the charitable giving arm of Aerojet) has contributed $2,500 to establish the Aerojet Scholarship Fund for Splash Field Trips. Aerojet is offering field trip scholarships for students participating in the Splash Elementary Program who are unable to afford the modest, sliding-scale fees.
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.
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.
