TRANSPARENCY & STANDARDS
The whole job.
In the open.
The evidence behind the work belongs in the record.
Start with our organization records, understand how gifts are used, and follow the work as it develops.
Organization recordsYour giving.
Clear purposes.
General one-time, monthly, birthday and personal-challenge gifts support assessments, repairs, follow-up and necessary operations. Personal fundraising goals are not project budgets. We do not promise that 100% of general donations go directly to field projects.
East Bali family sponsorships are different. Gifts through that fundraiser are designated for the proposed 27-family rainwater-reservoir project. The appeal offers whole sponsorships at $360 each toward a $9,720 goal. FIELDWATER covers processing fees under the project terms.
Read the East Bali project giving terms
Partner requests describe proposed work. They are not amounts received or final project budgets. We agree scopes and delivery responsibilities with local partners before committing funds.
General giving termsReport what happened.
We track successful gifts, refunds, processing fees and payouts separately. Future scheduled gifts and founder commitments are not cash received.
Project records will show dated assessments, scope, actual costs, tests, follow-up and unresolved issues. Estimates remain labeled as estimates; flowing water alone is not evidence of safe drinking water.
Fundraising completion and completed water infrastructure are reported separately. Partner photographs showing earlier work are labeled as historical examples.
Your giving.
Your decision.
Change future monthly amounts, update a payment method or cancel at any time through secure email access. Cancellation stops future collection. Refund requests are handled separately.

Field stories should respect the people involved, seek informed permission for identifiable images and avoid manufactured suffering. Context photos must not be mistaken for FIELDWATER results.
