Charity Waterby Scott Harrison
Charity Water was founded by Scott Harrison in 2006 after he transitioned from being a nightclub promoter in New York to volunteering on a humanitarian hospital ship in Liberia. Witnessing the water crisis firsthand, he pivoted to solving global water poverty using an innovative nonprofit model: 100% of donations go directly to water projects while overhead is funded separately by entrepreneurs and major donors. The organization has raised $750 million, provided clean water to 16.8 million people across 22 countries, and pioneered donor engagement through birthday fundraising campaigns that have raised over $100 million.
