Who runs BeOnTop, and where the money goes
BeOnTop is free for everyone. This page says who runs it, what it costs, and what happens to a donation — plainly, with the figures.
Who runs it
BeOnTop belongs to the aQua for All Foundation, a US 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Fort Lee, New Jersey (EIN 84-2236945). It appears on the IRS list under its original legal name, Aqua Africa Foundation Non Profit Co — the Foundation was set up in 2019 as Aqua Africa and renamed aQua for All in 2021.
The Foundation does one thing: it funds clean drinking-water systems for children who live in care, sends the water to a laboratory for testing, and keeps paying for the upkeep, year after year.
Why a water charity gives away a website tool
A small charity that has to pay for filters every year, for ever, needs friends who stay. Rather than knock on doors and ask, we give something useful first: a free, plain-language check of a business’s website — what to fix, in what order, and how it compares with its competitors.
BeOnTop was made to bring in donations for clean drinking water for children. It asks for nothing in return: there is no subscription, no trial and no card, and a donation unlocks nothing — everyone gets the same tool, with the same fair-use limit of 50 AI runs every 30 days, which renews by itself. If you like the app, you may donate to our purpose.
Where the money goes
BeOnTop’s running costs are small — mainly the AI. When donations come in through BeOnTop, that small cost is paid from them and everything else goes to the water systems; when they don’t, the Foundation’s president covers it personally.
For the Foundation as a whole, this is how the money has been spent, from its returns to the IRS:
| Figure | What it means |
|---|---|
| 79% | of spending went to the work in the year ending 30 June 2024: $12,527 of $15,790 — systems, fitting, servicing and laboratory testing. |
| $49,831 | programme spending the year before (ending 30 June 2023), the largest year to date — the money behind the systems now running in children’s homes in Greece. |
| $0 | paid to anyone who runs it. No officer or director of the Foundation takes compensation; it is stated on the public return, year after year. |
The rest is what it costs for a charity to exist at all — the annual state report, bank charges and the accountant who prepares the return. The Foundation funds the systems; the fitting is done by local water-treatment companies. We would rather you heard this from us: the two most recently filed years were quiet ones — $300, and then nothing — while the Foundation’s filings and registration were brought back in order. The returns are public: read the Form 990s, or see the same figures on aqua4all.org.
Sponsors: a thank-you, not advertising
A business may support BeOnTop with a donation to the Foundation. As a thank-you, its name, its logo, a link and a plain, neutral description of what it does appear inside the app. There are no offers, prices, discounts, superlatives or calls to buy, and the amount does not depend on traffic. We tell the sponsor how many people saw the thank-you and how many followed the link — as information, not as a promise. The money is a donation and follows the same rule as every donation: a small part for BeOnTop’s running cost, everything else to the water systems.
What the money has paid for
Children in three SOS Children’s Villages programmes in Greece — in Crete, in Vari outside Athens, and in a shelter home — drink water from systems the Foundation funded. The next village in line is Plagiari, near Thessaloniki, which today buys bottled water every week. Only the money is missing.
