    Data Time Period

    Benchmark for Scoring
    Impact scores of water purification programs are based on the cost to provide clean water relative to the market cost that a person incurs to buy water in that country. Programs receive an Impact score of 100 if they provide water for less than 75% of the estimated market costs, and a score of 80 if they do so for less than 125%. If a nonprofit reports impact but doesn't meet the benchmark for cost-effectiveness, it earns a score of 65. This program's cost to provide clean water is less than 75% of the local costs.
    Methodology
    This impact score was determined through the Water Purification methodology which is fully detailed in the Charity Navigator Guide to Ratings. Analysis conducted in 2019 by Charity Navigator's acquired branch, ImpactMatters, using publicly available data from nonprofits and IRS forms 990, theory and evidence from scientific research studies.
