Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

THE WATER FINANCE EXCHANGE'S (WFX) OBJECTIVE IS TO SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE FUNDING SOLUTIONS IN THE U.S. WATER, WASTEWATER AND STORMWATER SYSTEMS, WITH EMPHASIS ON RURAL AND DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES.

Activities or mission (Part I)

THE WATER FINANCE EXCHANGE'S (WFX) OBJECTIVE IS TO SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE FUNDING SOLUTIONS IN THE US WATER, WASTEWATER AND STORMWATER SYSTEMS, WITH EMPHASIS ON RURAL AND DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES.

  • PIPELINE DEVELOPMENT. WFX PROVIDED COMMUNITIES WITH THE BEST NETWORK OF RESOURCES TO HELP THEM SELECT, DESIGN, AND FUND PROJECTS THAT MEET THEIR LOCAL PRIORITIES. BY FOCUSING ON COMMUNITIES THAT LACK THE NECESSARY FUNDING AND DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO CAPITAL MARKETS, WFX CONNECTS COMMUNITIES IN NEED WITH THE TECHNICAL EXPERTISE AND TARGETED FINANCIAL RESOURCES CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE TO HELP ADDRESS THEIR WATER INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUES.

    Expenses $338,344 · Revenue $14,846

  • PROJECT DEVELOPMENT. WFX DOES NOT INTEND TO BE A PRIMARY FUNDER OF WATER INFRASTRUCTURE; RATHER, ITS FINANCE ACTIVITIES ARE NARROWLY DESIGNED TO FILL COMMUNITY GAPS THAT ARE PREVENTING FULL FINANCING FROM OCCURRING. WFX CONNECTS COMMUNITIES TO THE RIGHT EXPERTISE AND ACCESSIBLE FINANCIAL RESOURCES WHICH HELP TO SUPPORT PRE-DEVELOPMENT AND DE-RISK PROJECTS.

    Expenses $338,344

  • PARTNERSHIP DEVELOPMENT (FACILITATE INVESTMENT AND BUILD SELF-SUPPORTING NETWORKS). WFX BELIEVES THAT IT CAN SUPPORT THE EFFORTS OF SMALLER COMMUNITIES TO ACCESS FUNDING BY ASSEMBLING THE NEEDED EXPERTISE, BUILD TRUSTED RELATIONSHIPS WITH COMMUNITIES, COMPLETE PROJECTS, AND LEARN AND DISSEMINATE INFORMATION ABOUT RECURRING ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS THAT ALLOW FOR SCALING-UP FUNDING OF SIMILARLY SITUATED COMMUNITIES AND REGIONAL INITIATIVES THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE UNAVAILABLE. WFX WILL CONTINUE TO SERVE AS A NATIONAL PLATFORM TO ACCELERATE THE ADOPTION OF BEST PRACTICES, INCREASE THE ABILITY OF SMALLER COMMUNITIES TO ACCESS FINANCING, AND CLOSE THE WATER INFRASTRUCTURE EQUITY GAP FOR SMALL AND RURAL COMMUNITIES.

    Expenses $338,344

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.
