Strategy
"Equitable access to clean water requires both inclusive community engagement and policies that prioritize the needs of the most vulnerable populations." -Pacific Institute
Since...
Many water projects fail to consider the needs and rights of marginalized communities, leading to inequitable water distribution and poor community outcomes. Organizations also struggle to influence water policies that advance sustainable practices and justice.
@WaterFunder
WaterFunder supports organizations in developing comprehensive water strategies, engaging with policymakers, and involving communities to ensure equitable water access and environmental justice. Leveraging frameworks from the EPA, Justice40 Initiative, Pacific Institute, Alliance for Water Efficiency, and US Water Alliance, WaterFunder helps shape effective water governance policies and empowers communities to participate in decision-making processes.
Impact
We develop strategies that include community voices, align with policy frameworks, and promote water equity. By engaging with regulatory bodies and local stakeholders, we ensure projects support both environmental and social outcomes.
Examples include facilitating community engagement events organizations representing diverse stakeholders, resulting in actionable feedback and more vital collaboration between a city and its businesses and residents to address water resilience challenges. And also executive briefings on tribal engagement for land and water acknowledgment.
