Strategic Alliances

Start with Water is very interested in sharing information and projects with partner organizations. Partners with whom we have signed a Memorandum of Understanding, may list endorsed projects on this site as their standards and process are similar to ours. The "Lead Organization" field in a project listing will name the Strategic Partner for all non-Rotary led projects.
