TAP Fund

tap-fund

is developing a project to fund tap station installations in schools, and public locations. The fund will pay the costs associated with the taps, and installations so that they can be provided for free or at a reduced charge. The Tap Fund will be a public-private partnership loan fund created to increase access to safe, clean drinking water in communities; including schools, public locations, and homes; spur economic development that supports drinking water access; and inspire innovation in drinking water technology. The fund will provide financing for tap station installations, distribution, and maintenance.
