SAN DIEGO–BluPeak Credit Union’s BluPeak Foundation has launched BluPeakFoundation.org, a new website it said is dedicated to expanding access to clean, safe, and affordable water.
“The site launch marks a new chapter for the Foundation, which is now welcoming public donations and membership participation to help advance its mission,” the organization said.
Since its inception in 2024, the BluPeak Foundation reported it has donated $27,500 in 2025 to organizations addressing the global water crisis through both emergency relief and long-term infrastructure projects. The contributions include:
- $12,500 to Water.org to support WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) projects abroad
- $5,000 to the American Red Cross to support wildfire recovery efforts in Los Angeles
- $2,500 to charity: water for sustainable water projects globally
- $7,500 to DIGDEEP, a U.S.-based organization bringing clean running water to homes in underserved communities across the Navajo Nation, Appalachia, and the Colonias region.
- $3,000 was awarded to San Diego Coastkeeper at the 2025 Seaside Soirée, an annual gala and fundraising event.
‘Fundamental Human Right’
“Access to clean water is a fundamental human right and a critical step toward achieving social equity,” Joseph McKone, executive director and president of the BluPeak Foundation, said in a statement. “With the launch of our website, we’re making it easier than ever for individuals, partners, and communities to join us in taking tangible steps toward sustainable water access for all.”
The organization said that for Shelley Duckart, foundation director, the mission is “deeply personal.”
“Having grown up in a drought-prone region and witnessing firsthand how water scarcity impacts communities, agriculture, and the environment, joining the Foundation was about protecting the future for the people and places I hold dear,” Duckart said in a statement. “Launching this site allows us to connect with others who share that same passion.”
