F.A.Q.'s

Is there a meaning for the name Transform Through WE? 

Yes, there is. It is actually in three parts. The first part is "Transform", which means to positively affect change. The second part is "Through", which means generous giving and volunteering. The third is "WE", which is an acronym for Water and Electricity and is also the untold number of wonderful people that provide a better life for those in need.

What is the goal of Transform Through WE?

Our goal is to provide access to electricity to a small village (or combination of villages) of 1,000 people around the world. With this access, we provide five critical services; Safe water from water filtration systems, Light at night from lanterns, clean cooking from dual hot plates, medicine storage with refrigeration, and internet access. With electricity and these services, small villages will have a solid foundation to build from.

Why do you say electricity is a game changer? 

With access to electricity, we are able to bring a number of efforts together to help those in need. Safe drinkable water, cleaner air to breathe, and internet access for education to start. Serving 1,000 people for a minimum of 10 years that can grow with the needs of the village. And that is not all. Access to electricity will help reduce human trafficking, reverse deforestation, help keep families together, provide opportunities to start small businesses, and dramatically increase the quality of life. To finish, eliminating the need to leave the village daily and having light from sundown to bedtime frees up to 8 hours or more a day, every day. Saving time = Giving time. Think of the possibilities! All of this is possible, due to the fact that people have access to electricity.

Is Transform Through WE affiliated with any political or religious organizations? 

No. Transform Through WE does not have any direct affiliations with any political or religious organizations. With that said, Transform Through WE will be open to working with any individual or group that wishes to help with our effort. 

Is my donation tax deductible? 

Yes. Financial and in-kind donations are deductible under applicable laws. Transform Through WE is a U.S. registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Our tax ID# is 84-2377911.

What percentage of my donation will go directly to the cause? 

Currently it is 85%. That is 85 cents of every dollar donated goes directly to village projects. The percentage can go higher when more projects are funded and if donors choose to include the merchant service fee with their donations. (ex: $18 donation plus .54 cents for a total of $18.54). That could increase the directed amount to 88% or more. 

Why does Transform through WE only ask for a one-time $18 donation ?

The amount is an easy decision for you to give. A one-time donation allows you to give and know you will not be asked for another donation connected to the current project. 

Why does Transform through WE say this is a powerful way of fundraising? 

Once you donate you will join an ever-growing community of like-minded individuals that wish to help. When a new village is identified, Transform Through WE will reach out to your community to give you an opportunity to support. The powerful aspect is that funding can be completed in just weeks, or even days, greatly shortening the time our services will be provided to another village in great need!

I would like to give to another project. How does that work?

It works in two ways. Once the first village that you donate to receives our services and is up and running, you will receive an email with a video attached that will document the process from start to finish along with verifiable positive results. Only at that time will Transform Through WE provide an opportunity for you to help fund another village to receive our services. The amount of the ask? Another one-time $18 donation. You can also keep current on other active, or upcoming, village projects around the world by checking our project page. This gives you the control on where, and when, you would like to direct your donation(s).
