Well Aware Wins Game-Changing Campaign at Bloomerang’s Second Annual Givie Awards

Austin, TX – May 27, 2026 — Well Aware, an international nonprofit dedicated to addressing water scarcity and promoting sustainable water solutions in East Africa, has been named the recipient of the Game-Changing Campaign Award at Bloomerang’s second annual Givie Awards, held at GiveCon 2026. The Game-Changing Campaign Award recognizes an organization that displays innovative strategies in an above-and-beyond campaign.

At the center of this award is Well Aware’s H2gO Challenge. Their newly reimagined peer-to-peer fundraiser revitalized their annual fundraising engine and reconnected supporters to the lived reality of communities in East Africa facing water scarcity.

In its inaugural year, H2gO engaged 201 participants, including six schools and numerous corporate, family, and friend teams. The campaign raised $200,000+, funding clean water access for more than 10,000 people across East Africa. The campaign also attracted many first-time fundraisers, expanded corporate participation, and strengthened Well Aware’s year-round donor pipeline.

“We knew that completely starting our peer-to-peer fundraiser from scratch was a risk, but times are changing, and it is imperative that we change with them. We are so thankful for our community that fully embraced this change and transformed thousands of lives through it.” — Sarah Evans, Founder, Well Aware

As part of the recognition, Well Aware will receive a $1,000+ donation from Bloomerang in honor of their inspiring showcase of how innovative tools and collaboration can drive meaningful impact.

“The Givies celebrate and recognize the unwavering dedication and creativity of nonprofit leaders,” noted Ann Fellman, Chief Marketing Officer, Bloomerang. “It’s a privilege to spotlight these organizations and inspire others in the sector to reach new heights.”

The Givie Awards were presented at GiveCon 2026, Bloomerang’s annual conference bringing together nonprofit professionals from across the country to explore fundraising innovation, donor engagement, and campaign strategy. The second annual GiveCon featured CFRE-accredited sessions, hands-on workshops, and networking opportunities designed to equip nonprofits with the tools they need to thrive.
