Overview
Mission
To provide clean, safe water to desperately needy locations.
What it reported doing in 2025
In 2025 ClearBlue worked diligently to find compassionate donors and connect their resources with people in desperate need of water. This paid for water well projects of various sizes in India, Rwanda and Fiji. These projects will provide clean safe water for thousands of people.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
