Providing Clean Water to
Communities in Need
The Nalgene Water Fund was created in August 2019 to support domestic communities struggling with access to clean water by partnering with grassroots nonprofits to raise funds and awareness. To date the NWF has identified programs in Flint, MI, Navajo Nation, and Benton Harbor MI, to benefit from more than $400,000 in financial and in-kind donations. Proudly made in the USA, Nalgene Outdoor is committed to supporting local communities.
NAVAJO NATION
Nalgene Water Fund is proud to support Navajo Nation (Diné) with its “Tó éí iiná” (Water is Life) bottle, in partnership with Jaden Redhair, age 22, an accomplished Navajo artist born for the Jemez Clan. Five dollars from every bottle sale goes towards combating the water crisis facing America’s largest indigenous tribe. To date, Nalgene has contributed close to $80,000 to benefit Navajo Nation in funds and critical supplies to enable future water solutions, finance water deliveries, maintain infrastructure, and support job creation.
