Give the gift of clean water with 100% confidence
Safe drinking water is much more than a basic human need. It’s the foundation for improved health, education, and economic opportunity. Yet access to clean water is still out of reach for nearly 1 in 10 people on the planet.
Join The Spring, our monthly giving community, and join our mission to bring clean water to the 703 million people living without it. No matter how much you give, every cent funds clean water projects around the world.

Give with confidence
Join the global community serving 37,577 people every month
When you give to charity: water, 100% of your donation goes directly to funding water solutions in rural communities. We won’t stop until everyone, everywhere has access to clean water. But we need our monthly giving community, The Spring.
Our water projects are locally-led and community-owned. We deploy your donations to the field, where these partners go to work rehabilitating old water systems, building new ones, or completing sanitation and hygiene training.
The Spring is essential to this cycle. We count on monthly gifts to fill in any funding gaps that may arise or account for potential changes in project completion. The Spring enables us to fund our local partners with confidence and make the best long-term investments in rural communities.
Meet the community changing lives.
The Spring is composed of generous, passionate, and determined people — like you — from more than 100 countries around the world. Our members have already transformed over a million lives with access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene. Stand with us and change millions more. You’re going to fit right in.
“I used to have monthly subscriptions with several different companies. But then the makeup, tote bags, and international snacks started to accumulate. With The Spring, I can donate that money and see the impact my support makes around the world.”
Cindy Agoncillo
“The Spring isn't just a subscription. It's a community of passionate investors. Being part of The Spring makes me hopeful that there will be more children who can dream bigger because they don't have to carry the weight of dirty water.”
Krupa Patel
“I'm currently an environmental engineer working on improving New York City's water and wastewater resources. Water is something that is very important to me, and access to clean water is something that we often take for granted.”
