Fundraising Tips

Over the years many individual citizens and churches have sponsored fund raisers for W.A.T.E.R. in their homes, at churches and at other locations. The concept is that you bring your friends, church goers or family together with the intent of raising money for a borehole or contributing to one with whatever amount you manage to raise. Many occur during the second half of the calendar year as a means to raise tax deductable funds, collect in lieu of Christmas gifts, etc. This is also consistent with the West African drilling season which begins in December and runs through around June (depending on when the rainy season starts).

Fundraising Events

• Manitowoc - Wisconsin Nov. 15, 2011

Hosted at the Lighthouse Inn, local Attorney Mike Lambert will bring together members of the community to fundraise for a variety of African causes.  WATER will receive those donations earmarked for water and sanitation

• Late November, Accra, Ghana (date to be determined)

WATER plans to do a local fund raiser for Buruli Ulcer.  The event will target Social Responsibility arms of companies in Ghana.  Money will be sought for surveillance, case treatment, water and sanitation in Buruli endemic communities and education for children confined to Buruli Ulcer wards and not in school.

 WATER typically raises money for water projects and disease control, however in certain cases other projects are pursued, particularly when the donor requests. The projects are all in Africa. Water projects are almost always done with another agency (CRS, Carter Center, UNICEF, etc). WATER provides the rural implementation expertise.  However, the majority of your funding is used for drilling, pumps, tanks, etc.  WATER also does quite a bit of maintenance, which requires immediate response and hence immediate funds.

All contributions are fully tax deductible. WATER is a 501(c)(3) corporation in the United States.
