The Ripple Effect: Dollar Match

Introducing...

The Ripple Effect Campaign

Calling all 33 Buckets supporters! The Ripple Effect is 33 Buckets newest, keynote campaign, designed to maximize your impact as a part of our community. You've likely reached this page because you've been, or will be, an essential supporter of our clean water mission. By contributing to our dollar matching pool, you will provide essential training and resources for water management teams and youth-focused WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) education in 14 communities in the Ccorca District of Cusco, one, considered the most underserved district in the province. In total, you'll be empowering over 3,500 individuals (600+ multi-generational families) through clean water, sanitation, and education.

The Ripple Effect is inspired by the idea that one person can make a ripple of impact felt by our students, volunteers, partners, and the families in our partner communities. Our aim is to partner with student organizations at Arizona State University and local businesses to launch their own Ripple Effect fundraisers, growing our community and empowering more people to improve access to clean water. To kick off the campaign, we are raising $7,500 in matching dollars that will effectively double the impact of all donations raised up to our matching pool amount. This is an opportunity to serve a unique and fundamental role in the success of this fundraiser and the lives of those we serve.
