Nature
Water Foundation
The Water Foundation and its partners advance lasting solutions to secure safe water for people, restore and sustain freshwater ecosystems, and build climate resilience. As a public foundation, the Water Foundation does this through direct grantmaking, field building, and campaign strategy development.
Securing clean, reliable water for people and nature. Because everyone and everything needs fresh water.

Why this matters
Clean, reliable freshwater is essential to community and ecosystem health. Yet, our water infrastructure is aging, our ecosystems are neglected, and climate change is exacerbating water challenges. Nevertheless, committed advocates and local leaders are demonstrating that community-based water solutions can protect public health and build climate resilience.
