Charity: water (founded 2006) reports almost 20,000 projects in 24 countries and about six million people served, funded by roughly 1 million donors and ~$210M raised. The team shoots an 8-minute VR film with GoPros in Ethiopia that has already unlocked over $2M in donations including a $400k gift, and experiments with public activations where drilling rigs tweet GPS locations and 100% of public donations go straight to projects; exploring monthly giving to scale beyond one-off donors.
