Avoiding a lot of big time foundations, Charity Water raised $11million from 60,000 donors. 100% goes to the field and they raise money for their own expenses. They are “restoring faith in charity work.” Donors can view all the projects on Google earth.

Social media has been helpful. They are the first charity to surpass one million Twitter followers. Impressive!
