Overview
Mission
Non-profit foundation focused on providing clean, sustainable water solutions worldwide through the innovative use of Atmospheric Water Generation (AWG) technology. We are dedicated to deploying these systems in regions facing severe water scarcity, enhancing global access to potable water.
What it reported doing in 2024
The Moses West Foundation has successfully provided over 5 million gallons of clean water through our water projects. We have had the fortune to assist in impacting communities in regions such as Puerto Rico, Michigan, Texas, Mississippi, and Internationally. Our projects aim to address immediate water needs and contribute to long-term sustainability and resilience in these communities through regional community engagement and support.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and liabilities are high compared with assets.
