The Walden West Foundation believes deeply that ALL children should experience the power of outdoor learning through a high quality environmental education program. Thus, the Foundation provides tuition assistance, to make camp more affordable for students who otherwise may not be able to attend science camp, and supplemental funding to improve facilities, purchase equipment, grow the garden program, and provide professional development for staff.

Your 100% tax-deductible gift to the Walden West Foundation directly impacts the children of Santa Clara County. All gifts matter and help the Foundation reach its goals.

Join us in supporting outdoor learning by sending a tax-deductible donation today.

Walden West Foundation participates in matching gift programs through all major giving portals.
