Planned Giving

Creating a legacy requires learning from the past, living in the present, and providing for the future. 

For 24 years, Pure Water for the World has been delivering impactful, comprehensive programs to rural and underserved communities, where there are high incidences of waterborne diseases but a lack of information and understanding, insufficient management tools, and a scarcity of aid.

With the help of generous supporters, we have partnered with communities, working together to address specific water and sanitation needs. We have had the honor of witnessing the lives of children and families transform, with new doors to their future opening in ways they never imagined possible.

Following are some ways you can help: 

DAF DirectDonor Advised Funds (DAF)

Looking for an easy, cost-effective way to support Pure Water for the World today? A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is like a personal charitable savings account, which can be quickly set up with a “sponsoring organization” – often the charitable arm of financial services firms – with the purpose of effectively supporting charitable organizations.

A DAF offers immediate tax benefits, allows you to make contributions as frequently as you would like, and empowers you to make important choices about when and where your charitable funds will be distributed. It also gives you the power to centralize your giving and record-keeping.
