What Peoples Water Board Coalition does
Mission
Water is life. The People's Water Board Coalition advocates for the human rights to water and sanitation and equitable access and affordability for impacted communities. This achieved by implementing Outreach into the Community in addition PWBC provides Public Education and Advocacy.
As stated on its FY2020 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Community Outreach - Our volunteer teams of residents conducted weekly door-to-door outreach efforts to ensure Detroit residents were aware of the Governor's Executive Order on water service restorations for disconnected households to protect public health. They distributed information on water assistance and plumbing programs in low-income neighborhoods where residents may be impacted but not aware of declarations and services by local and state governments. The teams also collected contact information on residents who had immediate needs such as bottled water delivery or other social service support. We reached nearly 7,200 households and helped social service managers and city officials better understand the risks and concerns of impacted households.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
99% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund PEOPLES WATER BOARD COALITION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 53% · 2022 78% · 2023 84% — growing more concentrated.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $68k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
