Live to Give Grant Awards
We’re excited to announce Drop in the Bucket as the grand prize winner of our Live to Give Grant Program!
Each year, we provide support to sponsor the Live to Give Grant Program, which acknowledges those in the community who are giving back through acts of inspiring service.
As we shared in April, the Live to Give Grant Program awards five winners with a $1,000 grant and one grand prize winner with a $5,000 grant to support the advancement of their organization or cause.
The grand prize winner, Drop in the Bucket, is a non-profit organization that builds wells and sanitation systems in sub-Saharan Africa communities. These systems provide the communities with access to clean water, leading to improved health outcomes and increased school enrollment rates. Access to clean water also helps promote gender equality: In East Africa, education for boys is prioritized; while girls are often tasked with finding clean water for their family instead of attending school. By providing clean water sources and establishing scholarship and mentorship programs, Drop in the Bucket empowers young women to pursue an education and realize their full potential.
