Mission
The Community Water Center Action Fund works to ensure that all communities have access to safe, clean and affordable drinking water through organizing, advocacy and political engagement.
-
Other Programs: As climate disasters increase, we helped secure historic state investment in resilience. Our advocacy contributed to the passage of a $10 billion climate bond in California. Over $600 million will directly support safe and reliable drinking water systems. This milestone reflects our commitment to equity in climate adaptation. Were turning bold policy ideas into tangible protections for vulnerable communities
Expenses $698,557
-
Political: Shifting power to deliver safe water access. In an area where safe water had been long denied, we led a transformative local election effort. We supported candidates who prioritized clean and affordable water. The result: a governing board flipped after 20 years of inaction. This victory demonstrates the power of grassroots leadership and civic engagement. We're building local power to advance water justice where its needed most. In Congressional Districts 22 and 13, our team spoke with more than 20,000 voters by phone or at their door to encourage voter turnout.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
