The net proceeds raised by ThirstyFest benefit Water for People. This is a Denver-based international nonprofit organization that provides communities in need with clean water, sanitation, and hygiene systems. Since the first annual ThirstyFest in 2018, the festival has raised over $100,000, which is sure to increase after another successful event this year.
