About

The Agua Fund is a private foundation striving to improve quality of life through support for efforts to protect the natural environment, help the disadvantaged, give voice to the underserved, and promote democratic values and full participation in civic life. Since 2002, Agua has invested over $55 million in non-profit organizations primarily in Virginia, Washington DC, Western Colorado and Indian Country. Whenever possible, we provide general support grants believing that our grantees are in the best position to decide how to deploy our funds. In recent years, we have significantly streamlined our application and reporting processes to allow grantees to focus more of their time on achieving our shared mission. We seek to leverage all our resources and welcome collaborations with other funders.
