Right now, over $325 billion sits in donor-advised funds (DAFs) across the U.S.
Imagine the impact if even a fraction of those funds were donated today to bring clean, safe water to the communities who need it most.
Our team will guide you through your next steps.
Make a gift through your DAF today — or name charity: water as a beneficiary — and help unlock even more clean water thanks to the generosity of a matching partner, while funds remain.
Every day, 696 million people live without access to clean, safe drinking water. It’s a crisis we can solve — but only if we act. The average balance of a DAF is $110,000. If those funds were used today, that’s clean water for approximately 2,750 people.
By using your DAF to give clean water, you keep every tax benefit — and gain something only charity: water can offer.
After you donate, we allocate 100% of your gift to clean water projects.
We prove every single project you fund, complete with GPS coordinates and photos.
We work with local partners to bring clean water to areas with the greatest needs.
Each morning in Uganda's Lukka District, Grace awakens before dawn with renewed hope. For decades, her daily routine included a grueling three-hour journey for water — water that was brown, contaminated, and made her children sick.
But today, she simply walks two minutes to a tap stand that provides her and her family with clean water.
A donation from a donor-advised fund on the other side of the world made this transformation possible.
“Using a donor-advised fund has streamlined our giving. It simplifies our total financial gifts, consolidates multiple tax receipts into one, and allows us to give more readily with funds we have already designated for that purpose.
We can utilize our DAF to donate appreciated stock to minimize our capital gains while maximizing our charitable giving. We’re also able to name beneficiaries to the fund, ensuring our generosity continues to be designated to charity: water beyond our lifetime."
