THE FIRST FIELD INITIATIVE

Project Zero.
Site search.

FIELDWATER’s first initiative starts with a $25,000 founder and PÛR field-work commitment. Assessed needs will determine the scope that future supporters can help fund.

The goal is to restore as much reliable water as the field budget can responsibly reach. That may mean one substantial repair or several systems and communities. No site has been selected and no completed result is claimed.

These are planning levels, not promised beneficiary counts. Final reach depends on assessed failures, repair costs, water safety, access, specialist needs, and the durability of each solution.

THE RECORD DONORS SHOULD SEE

Need. Work. Cost. Result. Follow-up.

FIELDWATER plans to keep the original scope beside the final record so donors can see what changed. Results will separate verified facts from estimates, and unresolved problems will stay visible.

  • Starting system condition and assessed need
  • Budget, approved changes, and actual spending
  • Repair records, photographs, and field notes
  • Functionality and water-testing evidence
  • Follow-up findings and open issues

BEFORE YOU GIVE

Direct answers.

Can I donate today?

Not yet. Project Zero has a $25,000 committed field-work minimum included in its $50,000 current total goal. Further assessed work may follow if that goal is met; FIELDWATER’s federal 501(c)(3) application remains pending and broad public fundraising has not opened. Follow Field Notes for the opening notice.

Will my gift be tax-deductible?

FIELDWATER does not currently represent gifts as tax-deductible. Federal status and final donation terms will be stated clearly before public fundraising opens.

Does every dollar go directly to a repair?

FIELDWATER will explain project and operating costs openly. We do not make a “100% to projects” promise because assessment, responsible delivery, reporting, and follow-up are part of doing the work well.

How will a project be selected?

Selection will begin with documented need and an understandable failure. FIELDWATER will also consider access, parts, qualified skills, testing, maintainability, local responsibilities, and realistic follow-up.

Does FIELDWATER only repair existing systems?

Restoration comes first. New infrastructure remains a limited option when rehabilitation cannot provide a safe, reliable solution.
