Vina Lustado contacted me yesterday about a fundraiser she is doing and wanted me to give you an opportunity to help support if you would like. Here is some more information from Vina.
I’m partnering with charity:water (an amazing non-profit organization) to help raise money to bring clean water to Ethiopia and Nepal. We have raised over $1100 so far to give 55 families clean water, and I have only two more days left on the campaign. To meet my goal, I am offering a free night stay in my handcrafted Tiny House, located in beautiful Ojai, California.
Last year, I attended a WDS conference where I was exposed to the water crisis, and I was deeply inspired by the story of founder Scott Harrison. He had a vision to change the world, and I want to help.
Did you know that 800 million people still live without clean water? As a young girl who grew up in the Philippines, I understand how much we take for granted. Something basic and essential such as clean water should be available to everyone.
In the spirit of giving, I’m asking everyone to donate $47 for my 47th year. But any amount will make a big difference.
It’s important to me that we close the campaign with a bang, so I’m offering something different. For anyone who donates at least $100, you can receive a one night stay in my Tiny House. Donate $200 or over, and get a weekend stay. You’ll love the location in the the beautiful and magical Ojai Valley!
What’s really cool is that 100% of the money will directly fund water project costs in the field. That means we’ll see exactly where our money was spent.
Thank you for making a difference – it means the world to me!

Thank you William and Carol! Clean water is a global water crisis, and charity:water is an organization like no other non-profit. Their business model is redefining other charitable organizations.
I have seen the impact of their work, which is deeply transforming lives of children and families. Your support will be put to good use, and any amount will be much appreciated!

The parent organization, Charity Global Inc., has what I consider some larger salary numbers and holds on funds on the 2011 IRS filing which can be viewed thru Charity Navigator.
I can only comment on what I read.
I will also add that the founder of the organization has some very colorful lifestyle actions and expenses before he “found Jesus.”
He is paid 160k yearly for his leadership ?

Thanks for more of your comments.
D. Whit- You seem to correct that Charity Global Inc is the parent company. If you read more about them, you’ll find most people who have researched the company have found them to be totally transparent and have the highest rating for a charitable organization with very high impact.

The founder Scott Harrison gets his salary paid by private donors, as well as all the other administrative costs. This means that ALL the money that gets donated goes directly to the water projects. Whatever salary Scott Harrison gets paid has no impact on our donations.
I invite you to watch his video to learn more about him and his commitment to clean water:
