What Aquarius Water Experience Foundation does
Mission
Educating the public about the importance of water resources and the conservation of rivers.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The foundation educates the public about water resources, freshwater ecosystems, and river conservation through immersive, multi-day educational river experiences. During the year, the foundation conducted a river expedition for 10 participants through the first 90 miles of the colorado river in the grand canyon, basing out of flagstaff, arizona and concluding with a hike up to the south rim. Participants gained firsthand understanding of the ecological, cultural, geological, and biological importance of freshwater systems. The program emphasized the need to preserve and protect freshwater systems for the benefit of people, wildlife, and all life systems connected to river systems.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $157k to $62k (−61%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
0% of AQUARIUS WATER EXPERIENCE FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (92% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
