Key Points
- A $100,000 grant is advancing an effort to expand broadband internet access in a section of El Paso, Texas, where many households have no internet subscription.

- The nonprofit coalition Borderplex Connect will lead the project, which is expected to begin later this year.
An effort to expand broadband internet access in an underserved area of El Paso, Texas, has gained momentum through a $100,000 grant from Marathon Petroleum Corporation’s (MPC) El Paso refinery. The funds will support Project Overcome, which focuses on the 79901 ZIP code where limited internet availability exists.
“This ZIP code faces some of the deepest digital and economic divides in the region,” said Andrea Tirres, CEO of Borderplex Connect, the nonprofit recipient and supporting organization of the El Paso Community Foundation. “An astounding 44% of households have no internet subscription at all, while about 27% of households rely on their cellular subscription to access the internet according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Commerce.”
“This ZIP code faces some of the deepest digital and economic divides in the region.”
Project Overcome is expected to begin later this year. It will provide the infrastructure needed to deliver high-speed internet service to a targeted section of the 79901 ZIP code.
“This assistance is among our more important investments in El Paso because it will link so many residents with resources and opportunities that they’ve never had before,” said MPC Principal Corporate Social Responsibility & Community Relations Representative V.J. Smith.
Borderplex Connect is a regional coalition of public, private and nonprofit organizations that promotes broadband accessibility and affordability across far West Texas and southern New Mexico. Along with expanding internet service, the coalition supports digital skills training, distribution of devices that connect to the internet, and access to affordable internet for low-income residents and rural households.
“Working with Borderplex Connect reinforces MPC’s broader commitment to promote thriving communities where we operate by addressing basic needs and fostering economic progress,” Smith said.

Organizations have been managing legacy remediation liability around the world since the 1960s and have experienced a multitude of challenges to reduce or remove these financial liabilities from their organizations. The stories range from “these sites just never go away” to “why is there so much variability in the future cost estimate?” along with everyone’s favorite, “why does the estimated cost to close these sites keep going up with no end in sight?”
We face hard questions from business leadership, so it is important to:
- Use appropriate tools including regulatory, technical, stakeholder engagement, and business prowess

Creator-powered initiative aims to raise $40 million by August 31 to provide clean water to 2 million people worldwide for decades to come
NEW YORK, Aug. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Jimmy Donaldson, aka MrBeast, and fellow YouTube star Mark Rober have launched #TeamWater, a global campaign to bring clean water to 2 million people. Powered by content creators from over 84 countries with a combined reach of 2 billion subscribers, the initiative aims to raise $40 million by August 31. In partnership with international nonprofit WaterAid, the campaign blends creator influence with four decades of global water expertise to make lasting change.
From the deserts of Colombia to the mangrove forests of Bangladesh, #TeamWater will work with communities across the world and rally voices globally through the power of creators and their audiences. MrBeast and Mark Rober will lead the charge with call-to-action videos across their platforms, activating a global network of creators to raise awareness and drive donations. Emerging from the YouTube and TikTok creator networks, #TeamWater is rooted in the platforms where creators and audiences come together, fueling a global movement through authentic, community-driven engagement.
“We’ve seen the power of the internet when it rallies behind a cause, from planting millions of trees to removing millions of pounds of trash from the ocean,” said Donaldson and Rober in a joint statement. “Now, we’re taking on clean water, because no one should have to live without it.”
#TeamWater marks the third large-scale environmental campaign led by Donaldson and Rober, following the success of #TeamTrees and #TeamSeas, which together raised over $50 million to plant 20 million trees and remove 30 million pounds of trash from oceans, rivers, and beaches worldwide. This new campaign harnesses the reach of creators across platforms to mobilize people to take collective action on one of the world’s most urgent challenges: clean water access.
“We’re pairing the power of the world’s most influential content creators with WaterAid’s decades of on-the-ground experience to tackle one of the world’s most solvable challenges: the global water crisis,” said Kelly Parsons, CEO of WaterAid America. “Every dollar raised will fund long-term, sustainable water solutions — from solar-powered wells to gravity-fed pipelines — delivering clean water to millions, for generations to come.”
Despite progress, millions lack access to clean water. To help close that gap, every dollar donated through #TeamWater will go directly to funding clean water projects around the globe.
Tune in HERE at 12pm ET / 9am PT for the launch of #TeamWater on MrBeast’s and Mark Rober’s YouTube channels. To learn more about #TeamWater and donate, please visit teamwater.org
