CWC Makes a Push for Year-end Donations
And Thanks You for Your Support!
As of the first week of January we shattered our $10,000 goal! Thank you so much for supporting CWC’s work. If you weren’t a part of this huge swell of generosity, we’ll be in touch so you have the opportunity to support the cause of clean water for all.

Water Tours and Films Continue!
Water Film: Watershed Revolution shows Wed. 1/25, 7-9 pm
CWC’s Water Tours & Films continue in film mode in January, in partnership with the City of Capitola Public Works Department’s efforts to protect Soquel Creek and improve awareness about storm water quality in general.
January’s film is Watershed Revolution, a film that aims to show us what a watershed is and how we can go about protecting them. Focusing on the Ventura River in Southern California, this visually stimulating film helps us understand where our water comes from.
Please join us in the City of Capitola City Council Chambers, at 420 Capitola Ave. in Capitola. We’ll have snacks and drinks. Bring your friends for a fun and educational evening. Details for this and other events available here.

CWC Announces Two Grant Awards from Local Foundations!
CWC was recently awarded a grant from the Monterey Peninsula Foundation to support our summer camp, and a grant from the Community Foundation of Santa Cruz County for our stewardship and water quality monitoring work. Both grants require matching funding from individuals and businesses, and CWC is now seeking these donations.
The Monterey Peninsula Foundation (MPF) is a charitable foundation which disburses funds from the proceeds of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am on the PGA TOUR and the First Tee Open at Pebble Beach on the Champions Tour. MPF focuses on improving the quality of life in Monterey County and surrounding areas. Since the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am came to the Monterey Peninsula in 1947, over $85 million has been raised for charity. For more info about MPF, call (831) 649-1533 or visit montereypeninsulafoundation.org.
Since 1982, the Community Foundation of Santa Cruz County has worked to make the county a better place to live, now and in the future. The Foundation helps local donors to invest wisely in causes they care about, acts as a convener around key community issues, and provides grants and other resources to local nonprofits. Funding for grants comes from several sources including charitable funds established at the Community Foundation by local donors and through partnerships with private foundations. For more information on the Foundation, visit online at www.cfscc.org or call (831) 477-0800.
See the full press release for more details, and if you’re in touch with these organizations, please express your appreciation for their investment in CWC’s efforts to preserve and protect coastal watersheds.
