WHO WE ARE Moonshot is a non-profit organization that employs a unique business model to help utilities enhance water access and quality while promoting financial sustainability. Our goal is to help utilities re-imagine themselves in a way that not only improves water quality and supply, but also strengthens their financial position to deliver these services in an affordable, sustainable and resilient manner.

WHAT WE DO The Moonshot business model is based on collaborative peer-to-peer advisory services. Our staff, comprised of water professionals with over 600+ years of collective experience, practices humble listening with local leaders to learn about key challenges and aspirations for their water resources. Working on-site, we help discover, assess, select and implement new strategies - often including new technologies that improve performance and frequently reduce costs or generate new revenues.

OUR VISION For every community in the United States to have affordable and reliable systems that deliver clean water at their tap and in local waterways.

MOONSHOT MISSIONS Scaling for Impact Scaling for Impact. Three words that capture the essence of Moonshot Missions. Six years ago, we successfully launched a non-profit, peer-based consulting model designed to help utilities – particularly those with limited resources – assess, select, finance and implement solutions to deliver cleaner water at the tap and in local waterways at lower cost.

Starting with 1 community and 2 personnel, we have scaled up and are currently serving 198 communities with 37 personnel. We have proven our model works with communities of every size and demographic. Now, with over 100 success stories under our belt and a stellar team of world-class water professionals, including PEs, PhDs, MBAs, MPHs and more, we are poised to substantially scale our reach.

This report, following a simple structure, highlights seven areas of impact and tells a story for each that outlines the challenge, solution, and outcome we helped achieve. Inspired by these outcomes, we are reinvigorated to both renew our passion to serve and to redouble our efforts and to further expand our assistance to communities in need.

We will continue to be guided by our North Star, the Moonshot trifecta:

1) Improving water quality and quantity, more challenging and essential by the day as systems continue to age and new threats emerge.

2) Improving utility finances by reducing costs or generating new revenues, more important in a marketplace that offers so little personnel and financial support for thousands of communities.

3) Offering nimble, humble and experienced hands-on support, founded on fostering a culture of curiosity and newfound confidence that drives continuous innovation.

I look forward to your feedback and welcome any comments or ideas on our goal of “Scaling for Impact.” Please reach out, especially if you know of a community that could benefit from our help, at info@moonshotmissions.org.
