Progress: 170%
Raised: $ 847774 Goal: $ 500000

Your support of transformative change is truly inspiring! For the third year in a row, our supporters have not only stepped up to the challenge but exceeded our expectations by surpassing the goal of raising $500,000 during the 2010 Rosenthal Million Dollar Challenge.

Combined with Stephen and Sandy Rosenthal’s generous donation of $500,000, you’ve raised more than $1 million to help put an end to global water poverty during our IMPACT² campaign.

We're still getting checks in that were postmarked prior to the deadline of October 31, and we'll be updating the barometer here so you can be updated on the campaign's success.

We’re honored by your trust in us to use your contributions toward smart investments in sustainable water and sanitation solutions. As you know, every dollar is further magnified through contributions from communities, governments, and partners on the ground so that we can have long-lasting impact in Africa, Asia, Central America, and South America.

With your support, you’re empowering communities and building capacity so that one day, they’re fixing and replacing their own water and sanitation systems with little memory that Water For People, and our outstanding supporters, helped them along the way. Nothing would make us more proud than to go to a village where we once supported solutions and the residents have no recollection of Water For People because the flowing water and well-maintained latrines are THEIRS.

We truly appreciate every person, family, foundation, company, and volunteer committee that has stepped up to the challenge this year.

An enormous “Thank you” from all of us at Water For People and our communities around the world.

With warm regards,
