Hi [Name],
This weekend, I celebrated my 50th birthday, exactly 19 years after charity: water began. We started out back in 2006, as I threw my 31st birthday party in New York City asking friends to donate $20 at the door. Together, we raised enough to fund our very first well — and afterward, I sent photos, GPS coordinates, and stories back to everyone who gave.
From day one, proof has been at the heart of charity: water. And 19 years later, supporters like you have funded 186,026 water projects, each one proved and tracked on our website.
But now, we’re taking proof even further.
With the launch of WaterProof, we’re doubling down on that promise by proving not just every project, but every single donation.
Every time you give, you’ll receive a personalized report showing you exactly where your donation went, what kind of water project you supported, and how many people gained access to clean water.
To celebrate the launch of this first-of-its-kind experience, we’re raising funds to provide 80 communities with clean water this September.
You can be one of the first to experience WaterProof by donating today to help us reach that goal: charitywater.org/donate.
Whether you give $50, $500, or even $10,000 to fund an entire water project, 100% of your donation will fund clean water. And once the work is complete, we’ll share an update on exactly where your money went and how it’s transformed lives.
As I enter a new decade, I want to thank you for believing in a vision that began 19 years ago and continues today: a vision to reinvent charity and bring every human on earth access to clean water. With your support, I know we’ll get there.
With gratitude,
Scott
