Meet Our Investors

This is our small way of acknowledging the amazing people and organizations that make Splash possible.  A million thanks for your generosity and your commitment to providing all children with the opportunity to learn and play in natural places.

The Water Quality Consortium

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

Beta Pi Society

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.

Sacramento Valley Chapter of the California Native Plant Society

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.

SWAN Giving Circle

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.

SVVMA Charitable Foundation

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.

Aerojet

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 Board of Sacramento Splash

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

The staff of Sacramento Splash are not merely employees.  Together with the Splash Board of Trustees, we are also the organization's first donors.  

Teichert Aggregates

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.

Lucie helps Splash maintain the water-wise gardens that surround the Splash Education Center. In all types of weather, Lucie can be found in the garden, pulling weeds and planting seeds!

Stay close to small things

If you will stay close to nature, to its simplicity, to the small things hardly noticeable, those things can unexpectedly become great and immeasurable.
