Families and communities around the world - currently over 2.2 billion people - are without access to clean water. This work feeds our hearts and souls. 

Since its creation in 2023, The Sawyer Foundation has provided over $1,000,000 in funds to support clean water projects across the globe, and this Giving Tuesday Sawyer will be matching all donations made to help fund this life-saving work.

Here’s what your donation helps make possible - 

  • Thorough and sustainable training and maintenance programs that allow our water filters to last over a decade of daily use. 
  • Essential logistics for charity partners including freight and transportation between projects. 
  • Research and data-collection of health outcomes, socio-economic benefits to communities, and long-term use to ensure the solution we’re providing for communities is impactful and sustainable.
