JWF Fund
The Japan Water Forum Fund (JWF Fund) was founded in 2005 and is run solely by the JWF. The JWF Fund aims to contribute to the solution of local water-related issues in developing countries by assisting in the implementation of sustainable solutions led by grass-roots organizations. Every year, the JWF publicly seeks out projects to assist and provides grants of up to USD1,500 per project, adopted through an assessment process. We value projects that utilize local resources, knowledge, and technologies, and include a sustainable operations and maintenance scheme.
Over the past 21 years, the JWF Fund has supported 209 projects in 32 countries, benefiting more than 280,000 people. The Fund is made up of JWF membership fees and public donations.
In 2025, the JWF Fund selected 5 projects from 4 countries, out of 246 submissions coming from 41 countries.
