My Nonprofit Reviews

When I found out that charity:water received a four star rating from Charity Navigator, it came as no surprise. This charity is the most diligent, transparent and accountable organization that I know. Not only that, they really are sincere and compassionate about their cause.

A few things that really stand out to me about charity:water -

Their Cause - We all experience hunger and the cold of winter, and when it comes to charities, those are the types we easily connect with. Clean water, on the other hand, is something we have never had to go without and often times forget that it's a luxury that a billion people don't have. charity:water reminds us this and how something so simple, can save so many lives.

Transparency - Their split funding model lets me know that every dollar I donate or raise will go to providing clean water to people. And now, with their new Dollars to Projects program, I'll be able to see exactly which water project my donations help make happen. I really like this because with most charities you never really know the true impact of your donations, but with charity:water I do.

Engagement - I love how charity:water engages their donors. After I did a campaign on mycharitywater.org I felt as if I was a part of charity:water and not just a donor. I think they go out of their way to make their campaign fundraisers feel appreciated. I really liked the thank you videos they did at http://www.youtube.com/user/charitywaterthanks

All in all, this is great organization filled with people passionate about what they do.
