The Tributary – our legacy society

The Tributary is a community of givers who are making clean water part of their lasting legacy. By planning a future gift to charity: water, members of The Tributary help ensure that our work will continue until every person on the planet has access to clean water, and that the infrastructure exists to keep that water flowing for generations to come.

Let us know about your future gift

When we commit to an organization, it’s our hope and intent to be a part of it for life. There is no better way to hold true to this commitment than by giving not only in life but also in death. We’re grateful that our estate will not only benefit charity: water but the thousands of people the organization supports, whether it be their own staff, local partners in the field, or people in need of clean water. The greatest impact we can hope for is that charity: water realizes its goal of bringing access to clean water for all.
