Transparency
Accountability in Finances and Impact
Building Trust Through Transparency
Lifewater is recognized by top charity ratings organizations like GuideStar and Charity Navigator, and certified transparent by Excellence in Giving for sharing more data about governance, finances, strategy, and impact than required.
Live Results
Lifewater shares real-time organizational results online, including comparative (year over year) and sustainability metrics. Whether the information is positive or challenging, we share it openly with all stakeholders.
Project Donations
All donors can now contribute to specific water projects rather than to Lifewater’s general fund. Donors who contribute to specific projects will be able to trace the impact of their gift throughout the course of the project.
Financial Statements
All externally audited financial statements, tax returns and annual reports are available on Lifewater’s website from the preceding five years, providing clarity and confidence in how donated resources are utilized.
Internal/External Audit
Lifewater conducts bi-annual internal audits and annual external audits for each of its country offices to ensure compliance with international and national best practices in accounting and financial management.
