Overview
Mission
To provide clean, sustainable water sources to underserved communities through the construction and maintenance of wells.
What it reported doing in 2025
Flowing waters funded and carried out well-drilling projects throughout the year to expand access to clean drinking water. Construction costs included drilling, materials, and contractor services
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
