Lifewater Wins Major Transparency Prize for Best Nonprofit Annual Report

SAN LUIS OBISPO (Dec. 7, 2018)— Lifewater International, a Christian clean water charity, today announces an unprecedented double award for transparency and effective communication.

The awards, distributed by Colorado-based foundation Counsel & Capital, recognize Lifewater’s dedication to providing timely, accessible information about their global programs.

Award winnings totaling $62,500 for best nonprofit annual report were awarded to Lifewater in early December.

“We’re deeply humbled to be chosen by Counsel & Capital for this award and blessed to partner with them as we work to bring safe water to remote communities,” Lifewater President/CEO Justin Narducci said. “Providing stakeholders with a truthful account of our work will always be priority at Lifewater.”

Founded in 1998, Counsel & Capital believes that with biblical principles, powerful communication, and the highest standard of transparency, charities can more effectively connect with donors.

In 2018, the foundation awarded a total of $75,000 for “Best Annual Report,” “Best CEO Letter,” and “Most Effective Focus” to nonprofits whose Annual Report met or exceeded their expectations.

This year, Lifewater became the first organization to receive both “Best Annual Report” and “Best CEO Letter” in one year, propelling the organization to the top for best nonprofit annual report.

“Our Annual Report awards highlight ministries that create trust and transparency for their donors,” Counsel & Capital President Randon Samelson said. “Lifewater’s 2018 report is both crystal clear and inspirational; it provides a deeper connection between donors and the impact of their giving.”

Lifewater is a Christian non-profit organization working to end the global water and sanitation crisis. For over 40 years, Lifewater has served more than 2.5 million people in 40+ countries with clean water, sanitation, and hygiene.
