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 are going to WaterAid, which is a non-governmental organization. [1] [2]

Background

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. [3] Donaldson, under his company Beast Holdings, LLC, registered the "#TeamWater" trademark on August 29, 2024. [4]

Beginnings

The project was released on August 1, 2025 at 9 AM PT. On YouTube, over 3000 creators, with a combined follow count of 3 billion, are creating videos for the fundraiser. [5]

Goal

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. [3] They reached this initial goal, supplying 2 million people with clean water "for decades", on August 31, 2025. [6]
