Clear Rounds for Clean Water is a nonprofit 501(c)3 tax exempt corporation solely dedicated to providing charitable funding for the Rotary International Global Safe Clean Water Initiative. We want to play a major part in reducing the appalling number of 1.3 billion people who currently do not have access to safe, clean water. The equestrian community is blessed with generous resources and equally generous hearts. To bring together the fact of global need for safe, clean water, the equestrian and the equestrian sport spectator we have created Clear Rounds for Clean Water.
For over 100 years Rotary International has a history of successful humanitarian service projects worldwide. The Rotary International Matching Grant program will allow CR for CW to combine our funding with matching grants from the Rotary Foundation and other organizations enabling our dollars to become 1 1/2 to 3 times greater than the original amounts.
We are also totally committed to providing the 21st century horse and rider combination with the type of competition that will be tremendous fun for the competitor and great horse sport entertainment for the spectator. We are producing horse shows that will be all-inclusive for every level of horse and rider. The October 2008 show featured the first Clean Water Jumper Classic and included the Corinthian Hunter, a division for the amateur rider who is a member of (or in case of subscription pack, fully accredited subscriber to) a recognized or registered Hunt in hunting attire. The quality of our horse shows is established and we have set our monetary funding goal very high for the Rotary International Global Safe Clean Water Initiative. Go to www.wasrag.org to understand in more detail the tremendous part we as equestrians can play in this global struggle.
In 2010 CRforCW is working towards a water and sanitation project that again promises tremendous matching funds for work in Honduras. Together, we can make a difference. Contact Britt McCormick or Jo Jo White to learn more.
