WOW. You showed up in a BIG way for Splash on the Big Day of Giving, and we’re still riding the wave of your generosity!
Thanks to YOU, we raised an incredible $150,497 from 497 amazing donors (some of you even gave twice—talk about heart!). That included over 40 generous matching donors, 506 total donations, and an inspiring 74%+ donor retention rate year over year.
We made thousands of calls, and you answered. Loud and clear.
Because of your support, we can keep doing what we do best: connecting kids with nature in ways that spark wonder, curiosity, and confidence. You’re not just funding programs—you’re funding life-changing experiences for students who may never have had the chance to step outside the classroom and into the wild, hands-on world of science.
One teacher told us:
“Splash isn’t just a field trip—it’s the day my students remember all year. Some of them have never seen this kind of nature before.”
And now, with your help, we’re one step closer to our goal of reaching 20,000 students annually through one of our seven powerful programs.
This BDOG gave us the breathing room to keep dreaming—like how we can use the Vernal Pool off-season to launch new programming at our Mather Center. Your belief in us, especially in tough times, means more than we can say.
Thank you for being part of this journey from all of us at Splash. Let’s keep building a future where every child can connect deeply with the natural world.
With overflowing gratitude,
Mackenize Wesier- CEO of Splash
