Mission and programs · 2024

• WATER PROJECTS - WASH ACTIVITIES: Living Water trains and equips staff, organizations and volunteers to help developing communities gain access to safe drinking water through the construction of new bore holes, piped water systems, filtration systems, rainwater harvesting as well as the rehabilitation of existing systems that have fallen into disrepair. Living Water introduces health, hygiene, and sanitation education. The gospel is shared directly and through partnerships with local churches and other ministries using various methods including training in oral Bible story-telling. Living Water empowers local individuals and communities and seeks to use the most appropriate technology and socially responsible interventions. Living Water serves all people regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or gender.

• WATER ADVOCACY/ACTION: See Schedule O. Living Water aims to end the global water crisis affecting 703 million people by engaging donors and volunteers, immersing them in education and action to become champions for the cause. We do this by: 1 - Leading in advocacy by equipping individuals/donors and others with resources on the effect the global water crisis has on women, children, men, and communities worldwide. 2 - Leading in action by mobilizing hundreds of volunteers each year to assist in drilling wells, promoting hygiene and sanitation, and sharing the love of Jesus. Living Water trains volunteers, missionaries, and development professionals each year to drill wells, repair pumps, teach good hygiene practices, and use culturally appropriate story-telling techniques for Christian witness. Living Water uses training techniques that equip participants to train others so the knowledge and experience gained can be easily transferred.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made
