Build safe water that lasts beyond a lifetime.

Let Your Legacy Flow for Generations

Cova’s Legacy Fund

Safe water transforms communities. But the systems that sustain safe water – local leadership, government integration, and technical excellence – take long-term investment.

Cova’s Legacy Fund allows you to extend your impact beyond your lifetime, ensuring that communities continue to access safe, reliable water for generations to come. By including Cova in your estate plans, you help build self-sustaining water systems rooted in local leadership, not temporary solutions. 

Why A Legacy Gift? 

A legacy gift is more than a donation. It is a statement of belief: 

  • That every community deserves safe water 
  • That local leaders are best positioned to sustain change 
  • That philanthropy can ignite systems that outlast it 

Legacy gifts strengthen Cova’s long-term resilience, helping us: 

  • Expand the Circuit Rider Model 
  • Deepen government integration 
  • Invest in local technical talent 
  • Strengthen evidence and accountability systems 

Your gift becomes part of a permanent foundation for water access that endures. 

 

Ways To Give 

You may choose to support Cova’s Legacy Fund through: 

  • A bequest in your will or trust 
  • Beneficiary designations (retirement accounts, life insurance, donor-advised funds) 
  • Charitable remainder trusts or other planned giving vehicles 

We encourage you to consult with your financial or legal advisor to determine the approach that aligns with your goals.
