IN THE COMMUNITY
Water by Awakening’s team members volunteer in numerous community endeavors like the local ministry devoted to helping the homeless and provides direct financial support to other community-based organizations.
A future goal is to realize the funding of Awakening Foundation. Awakening Foundation’s mission, to help the poor, will be intertwined with the success of the for-profit entity Awakening Water, llc which makes Water by Awakening. The goal is to fund the foundation to help the poor in our communities.
Giving Platform: Helping the poor can take many forms and believing in the universal truths of love and family, Awakening Foundation’s primary avenues of helping the poor will be focused on fortifying the family unit and showing compassion. To that end, Awakening Foundation will focus on providing the basic necessities of food and shelter through its church-based giving. Additional giving platforms include direct giving focused on education through its scholarship initiatives; caregiver relief support for those taking care of ill or disabled loved ones; and, mental health and well-being initiatives. Believing that hard work can lead to economic stability which support and enrich families, Awakening Foundation will also support entrepreneurship incubation and innovation.
Awakening Foundation’s will be a subsidiary of its for-profit parent company, Awakening Water, LLC. Although funded entirely by donations from the for-profit parent, will be a separately registered non-profit organization with a separate board of directors, advisory board, and staff. Decisions regarding foundation giving will not be influenced by the parent company although alignment of purpose is expected. Awakening Foundation will be a hybrid entity as its existence will fully depend on the for-profit parent company whereas the for-profit parent company will maintain a firm and dedicated commitment to corporate social responsibility through its giving to the foundation.
