charity: water is a non-profit bringing clean and safe drinking water to people around the world. Since 2006, we've funded more than 186,000 water projects in 29 countries. When complete, these projects will provide clean, safe drinking water for more than 20.3 million people.
703 million people don’t have access to clean drinking water, that's one in ten of us. Diseases from dirty water kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war.
The good news: there are simple solutions, from deep drilled wells to water filtration systems. With the help of 2 million+ donors and individual fundraisers, we've raised over $1B for both water and operations, forming a strong force against the water crisis. Join us!
Independent Sector is the national membership organization that connects, strengthens, and advocates for nonprofits and philanthropies.
Our vision is a charitable sector that is healthy, trusted, and equitable and helps all people in the United States thrive in a vibrant civil society and just democracy.
Independent Sector formed in 1980 when Coalition of National Voluntary Organizations and the National Council on Philanthropy merged into one umbrella organization to help promote sensible national policies and communicate the value of a strong and unified charitable community.
From its headquarters in Washington, DC, Independent Sector unites nonprofits and philanthropy to strengthen the charitable sector, identifying structural challenges and mobilizing the sector around policy and practice solutions.
