How Your Donation Helps
We can’t do this work alone. Headwaters provides scholarships to over half the schools we work with because we believe every child should have access to a great science education. Providing excellent educational opportunities to students in need takes resources. Donations make up 55% of our annual budget.
Plus, we conserve our budget to do what matters most: help students access education.
Only about 4% of our annual budget goes to overhead and fundraising costs, for a total of 8.5%. Many nonprofits spend almost 10% on overhead and 25% of their budget on costs to cover fundraising alone.
I can’t put it into words how thankful I am…
…for being sponsored to go to the Headwaters Girls Science Camp. At this camp, I learned how science is everywhere, even when you don’t suspect it. I also learned how important it is to increase the number of women in the science fields and the impact that women have in science.
What I loved most…
…about camp was how we learned and improved on our science skills, but at the same time, we would also have fun. I also got the opportunity to interact with females from all over California, that love science the same way that I do. I truly hope for another opportunity to be able to attend this extraordinary summer camp again.
…this camp sparked an interest in science in me, that I have never felt in my life.”
