Proposed allocation model
A defined portion. Two focused priorities.
Subject to final approval, GPHCB proposes allocating $25 from each eligible, fully paid membership to the Member Impact Fund.
This would be an organizational allocation from membership revenue—not a separate charitable contribution made by the member.
Per eligible, fully paid membership$25
Initial community priorities
Health today. Resilience for tomorrow.
Two connected initiatives designed around immediate need and longer-term wellbeing.
Immediate public-health need
Safe Water & Community Resilience
Support reliable access to safer water.
Proposed funding would help qualified partners develop or rehabilitate community water projects where access is limited.
- Technical and site feasibility
- Water-quality and safety requirements
- Community consent and participation
- Long-term operation and maintenance
Long-term wellbeing
Nutrition & Sustainable Planting
Plant for food, resilience and the future.
Fruit-tree initiatives would use locally appropriate species and community-led care to create sustainable benefits.
- Locally suitable fruit species
- Land and community approval
- Care and replacement planning
- Survival monitoring after planting
The proposed cohort model
Collective participation, made visible.
Under the proposed model, each group of 250 eligible members would form a GPHCB Impact Cohort—pooling resources toward community-led projects and receiving progress updates together.
Important: A 250-member milestone is a funding target, not an unconditional guarantee of construction. Every water project remains subject to verified costs, feasibility, approvals, safety and maintenance requirements.

Recognition that respects the community
Community voice comes first.
Impact Cohorts may be invited to suggest or vote on project names—but the receiving community will have a central voice in the decision. Recognition will celebrate collective participation while protecting dignity, privacy and local ownership.
Community voice firstCohort recognitionRespectful storytelling
Accountability by design
Trust must be built into every project.
Before launch, the program should be governed by a Board-approved Member Impact Fund Policy defining how funds, partners, projects and results are managed.
Governance
Board oversight, documented controls and conflict-of-interest standards.
Financial clarity
Defined allocations, separate tracking and clear project-level reporting.
Partner diligence
Qualified local partners, community participation and written responsibilities.
Health & safety
Technical assessment, water testing, monitoring and maintenance planning.
Sustainability
Appropriate species, care plans, survival checks and replacement standards.
Public reporting
Status updates, locations, costs, photographs and measurable outcomes.

Launching after verified projects begin
A living record of collective action
See where membership creates impact.
After the first verified projects begin, GPHCB intends to develop a public impact map showing project locations, status, community partners and documented results.
Future voluntary support
Members may be able to give more.
After the required financial and legal processes are established, GPHCB may introduce separate voluntary contributions for members, families, universities, companies and partners that want to support approved projects.
Additional gifts would be processed and recorded separately from membership fees.
Is the Member Impact Program active now?
The program is currently under development. Its public launch will follow Board approval, financial review, partner due diligence and adoption of the Member Impact Fund Policy.
Is the proposed $25 allocation a personal donation from me?
No. Under the proposed model, members would pay the published membership fee and GPHCB would designate an approved portion of eligible membership revenue to the Member Impact Fund. It would be an organizational allocation—not a separate charitable contribution made by the member.
Does every 250 memberships guarantee a borehole?
No. The 250-member milestone is a pooled funding target, not an unconditional construction guarantee. Each water project would remain subject to verified costs, technical feasibility, community consent, required approvals, water-safety standards and a credible maintenance plan.
How will communities and projects be selected?
Selection should follow documented criteria that consider public-health need, community request and participation, technical feasibility, partner capability, project cost, sustainability and the ability to monitor results. Final decisions would follow the approved Member Impact Fund Policy.
Will members be able to see how funds are used?
The proposed model includes clear reporting on allocations, project status, locations, partners, costs and measurable outcomes. Photographs and community stories may also be shared when appropriate consent, dignity, privacy and safety requirements are met.
Can members contribute more than the membership allocation?
Potentially. After the required financial, legal and operational processes are established, GPHCB may offer a separate voluntary-support channel. Any additional contribution would be processed and recorded separately from membership fees.
Who owns and maintains a completed community water project?
Ownership, operation and maintenance responsibilities should be defined in writing before project funding. The arrangement may involve the receiving community, an appropriate local entity and a qualified implementation partner, with responsibilities shaped by local law and project requirements.
How will the borehole naming process work?
An eligible Impact Cohort may be invited to suggest or vote on names, but the receiving community would have a central voice in the final decision. Any recognition process should protect community dignity, privacy, cultural context and local ownership.
Learn. Lead. Serve. Give back.
Build your future. Help strengthen theirs.
