The obvious immediate challenge for Charity; Water:
Continue to philanthropically support many diverse communities around the globe in a highly competitive market dominated by COVID-19 priorities and needs.
Generosity Assessment: Charity:Water does great work and covers their operating expenses through a group of private, deeply supportive donors, meaning the organization is on the cutting edge of preeminence. Their fundraising has been highly successful in achieving their narrowly-focused mission. We believe Charity: Water is a great candidate for support from:
