Case Study: The Water Project achieves $5,000/month savings and streamlined nationwide benefits with Justworks

The Water Project - Customer Case Study

The Water Project is an 11-person nonprofit in Concord, NH that brings clean water to schools and communities in Kenya, Uganda, and Sierra Leone. The organization was stuck on a regional, age-banded health plan in New Hampshire with limited provider options and rapidly rising premiums when adding dependents or older employees, creating high costs and administrative complexity that distracted leadership from their mission.

They switched to Justworks’ PEO and nationwide benefits network, gaining broader provider access, unified rates, and an integrated back-office platform. The move cut costs by roughly $5,000 per month, replaced a high-deductible plan with zero-deductible coverage, simplified payroll and 401(k) administration, and freed leadership to focus on growth and program work while offering employees substantially better benefits.
