C4W enables the dismantling of silos that obstruct collaboration on water security. We urgently drive the collective action necessary to tackle the global water security crisis at scale. C4W raises funds to finance science-based solutions through collective action to create a water-secure world. As a US-based registered non-profit organization, C4W brings together complementary and aligned organizations, harnessing their combined expertise and capacity to implement large-scale interventions that improve water security.
C4W establishes transformational partnerships across sectors—agriculture, health, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), sustainable energy, biodiversity, environment and disaster prevention—to drive impactful interventions. Water insecurity is a complex challenge, where lasting impact can only be achieved when governments, the private sector, communities, financial institutions, youth groups, entrepreneurs, researchers and innovation organizations unite through collective action.
These funding proposals and projects showcase success stories and opportunities to create lasting solutions for water security and climate resilience.
