In addition, the NC Safewater Endowment Fund awards funds to assist educators in providing enhanced water environment education to registered students and/or the public. The board considers specific donor restrictions on contributions of $25,000 or more.

The two organizations have very similar missions, although they are each affiliated with a different national organization. Very few activities are attributable to only one of the two organizations. Accordingly, nearly all operations are conducted jointly. Revenues and expenses are allocated to the respective organizations based on the purpose of the transactions. In most cases, revenues and expenses are shared between the two organizations, as most transactions benefit both organizations.
