★★★★★NPI RATING: BUYCurrently in its sixth year, charity: water has posted an impressive track record in terms of transparency, effectiveness, and financial strength. The organization has been growing steadily with consistently demonstrated impact.STRENGTHS▲Demonstrated Impact. Since 2006, Charity: water has funded the construction of nearly 7,000 wells worldwide, providing clean water to an estimated 2.4 million people.▲Rigorous Accountability. Charity: water's “dollars to projects” program provides GPS coordinates and photos of all completed wells, allow donors to better see the impact they’ve generated.▲Consistent Growth. Charity: water is well funded with consistent revenue growth since inception, and the rate of growth is increasing.▲Transparency. Charity: water exhibits a high level of transparency in tracking donor dollars and in demonstrating return on investment. The organization publishes regular annual reports, and presents its Form 990s and executive salaries clearly on its website.▲Separate Administrative Budget.All administrative activities of charity: water are funded by a small group of private donors, allowing all other donations to go directly to program activities. This provides for increased transparency for donors.CAUTIONS● Increasing Cost of Wells. The cost to construct a well has increased over the last three years from $4,500 to $7,600. This could be due to recent capacity building initiatives, but may also reflect a change in geographic mix or a recent decrease in efficiency.● Lack of Impact Studies. Charity: water cites a UNESCO study indicating that every $1 invested in the water supply yields up to $12 for the local economy. However, more targeted impact studies based on CW activities would be useful in order to maximize ROI.To access NPI's full research report on charity: water, please visit http://nonprofitinvestor.org/?q=charity_waterResearch report written by Luke Pryor, a volunteer with www.nonprofitinvestor.org

A mixture of organic growth, good management and leadership, and some big acquisitions.I worked for Merrill Lynch Asset Management (previously Mercury) in the UK and we were bought by BlackRock in 2006, which doubled the assets under management of BlackRock. Suddenly, instead of being the poor relation of a bunch of investment bankers and having our bonuses dictated by their profitability, we were in an asset management business where we could contribute to the front page of the annual report, rather than page 37, if you see what I mean. It was hugely motivating.Then we bought Quellos, and then three years later, BGI, which was a monster deal and doubled the assets again. There have been other acquisitions too, expanding the investment teams and the distribution. It's a huge business, but to be honest it never felt that way to me, because it was a very exciting atmosphere to work in and everyone works in teams focused on a particular market or asset class. OK, as an MD in institutional sales and account management, I probably felt more plugged in than many people in different parts of the structure because I got to talk to everybody, and use everybody for my clients if necessary. But when Larry calls out one of your successes in the results presentation, you certainly feel like you're in the right place.

After testifying against Capone (which eventually sent him to jail), it is probably fair to say he was granted immunity from prosecution and placed into a federal witness protection program, where he lived for the remainder of his years. This is only a guess, but probably the reason it is tough to find any information on him.His name was Louis Shumway [1].[1] U.S. Department of Labor -- DOL Annual Report, Fiscal Year 2006
