Our Purpose
The Sawyer Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that partners with charities to change people's lives around the world through Sawyer's Point of Use water filters. These projects allow organizations to partner with Sawyer in its global mission to bring clean water to communities in developing countries.
Our Pillars
Since its creation in 2021, The Sawyer Foundation has existed to bring clean drinking water to families around the globe. Just in 2023 alone, the Sawyer Foundation was able to provide close to $1,000,000 in funds to water filtration projects.
Our three pillars include university level global health education & research, transformational community development, and providing relief in disaster situations.
