What would you do for clean water?
For those without it, the answer is anything. Walk in 115ºF heat. Set out at 3 a.m. Sleep next to a well. All for water that’s unsafe to drink. After all, it’s better than nothing.
They don’t have a choice. But you do. This September, we're asking you to choose to do something — anything! — to help us bring clean and safe water to people who need it. Past fundraisers have done some pretty wild and crazy things to support water projects—like raffling off their own face or riding a rickshaw across India.
Because when you learn that 703 million people lack access to life’s most basic need, the craziest thing you can do is nothing.
Another option:
Keep the goodness going
If you want to make a difference but don’t want to fundraise, consider joining our monthly giving community, The Spring. It’s one of the best and easiest ways to give clean water all year long - join The Spring, before October 1st and you'll be eligible to apply for a free trip to see your impact firsthand.
A $20 monthly donation can give 6 people clean water every year.
EASY AS 1, 2, 3
Here’s how it works
You fundraise
It only takes a minute to set up a fundraising campaign. Decide what to do. Pick a name. Pick a photo. And just like that, you’ll be ready to start raising money to bring clean water to people who need it.
Tell the world
Once your fundraising campaign is set up, tell everyone about it. The more people you tell, the quicker you’ll reach your goal. Then sit back and watch the donations to clean water projects roll in.
See your impact
We’ll send 100% of the money raised to fund clean water projects. Then, we’ll report back to you — and the people who supported you — with details of exactly where your money went, and how it’s helping local communities.
Everyone wins
Helping more people gain access to clean water is reason enough to fundraise. But this September, we’re adding a bit of extra motivation to the mix.
Experience your impact
In 2024, one supporter will join us on the trip of a lifetime. Will it be you? Travel with our team, meet our partners, and see the difference clean water makes up close and in person. Raise just $1 this September to be eligible to apply.
