Team Water (stylized as #TEAMWATER) is an international collaborative fundraiser that was started by YouTubers MrBeast and Mark Rober as a follow-up to Team Trees and Team Seas. The fundraiser raised over $40 million dollars to provide clean drinking water to millions of people around the world. All of the donations from the fundraiser go to WaterAid, which is a non-governmental organization.[1]
History
[edit]Background
[edit]Following the success of their previous fundraisers, Team Trees and Team Seas—which raised over $50 million to plant 20 million trees and remove 30 million pounds of trash from the ocean—Jimmy "MrBeast" Donaldson and Mark Rober teamed up to launch Team Water.[2]
Beginnings
[edit]The project was released on August 1, 2025. On YouTube, over 3000 creators created videos for the fundraiser.[3]
Goal
[edit]Team Water aimed to provide millions of people with clean drinking water by raising $40 million by the end of August 2025, with 1 dollar providing clean water to one person for a year.[2] They reached this initial goal, supplying 2 million people with clean water "for decades", on August 31, 2025.[4]
