WFX PROVIDED COMMUNITIES WITH THE BEST NETWORK OF RESOURCES TO HELP THEM SELECT, DESIGN, AND FUND PROJECTS THAT MEET THEIR LOCAL PRIORITIES. BY FOCUSING ON COMMUNITIES THAT LACK THE NECESSARY FUNDING AND DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO CAPITAL MARKETS, WFX CONNECTS COMMUNITIES IN NEED WITH THE TECHNICAL EXPERTISE AND TARGETED FINANCIAL RESOURCES CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE TO HELP ADDRESS THEIR WATER INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUES. 605258 PROJECT DEVELOPMENT. WFX DOES NOT INTEND TO BE A PRIMARY FUNDER OF WATER INFRASTRUCTURE; RATHER, ITS FINANCE ACTIVITIES ARE NARROWLY DESIGNED TO FILL COMMUNITY GAPS THAT ARE PREVENTING FULL FINANCING FROM OCCURRING. WFX CONNECTS COMMUNITIES TO THE RIGHT EXPERTISE AND ACCESSIBLE FINANCIAL RESOURCES WHICH HELP TO SUPPORT PRE-DEVELOPMENT AND DE-RISK PROJECTS. 605258 PARTNERSHIP DEVELOPMENT (FACILITATE INVESTMENT AND BUILD SELF-SUPPORTING NETWORKS). WFX BELIEVES THAT IT CAN SUPPORT THE EFFORTS OF SMALLER COMMUNITIES TO ACCESS FUNDING BY ASSEMBLING THE NEEDED EXPERTISE, BUILD TRUSTED RELATIONSHIPS WITH COMMUNITIES, COMPLETE PROJECTS, AND LEARN AND DISSEMINATE INFORMATION ABOUT RECURRING ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS THAT ALLOW FOR SCALING-UP FUNDING OF SIMILARLY SITUATED COMMUNITIES AND REGIONAL INITIATIVES THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE UNAVAILABLE. WFX WILL CONTINUE TO SERVE AS A NATIONAL PLATFORM TO ACCELERATE THE ADOPTION OF BEST PRACTICES, INCREASE THE ABILITY OF SMALLER COMMUNITIES TO ACCESS FINANCING, AND CLOSE THE WATER INFRASTRUCTURE EQUITY GAP FOR SMALL AND RURAL COMMUNITIES. 1815774 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 10 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 X BRENDAN MCGINNIS CHIEF OPERATING M 6188066864 1445 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE NW SUITE WASHINGTON DC 20004 X F HENRY HABICHT II PRESIDENT & EX.
