Stanley 1913 Deepens Partnership with charity: water®

Today, the Stanley 1913 brand announced a new multi-year social impact commitment with global nonprofit organization, charity: water. charity: water funds sustainable water projects, working closely with local partners to successfully implement systems that help isolated, rural communities access clean drinking water. The mission-driven organization demonstrates its ability to alleviate the world water crisis through the integration of proven, innovative technologies and powerful storytelling that raises awareness and connects supporters to their impact.  

 “At charity: water, we believe that water changes everything” says Scott Harrison, Founder & CEO. “That's why we're on a mission to ensure that every person on the planet has access to clean, safe water. Since 2006, we've built over 200,000 projects in 29 countries and have helped over 21 million people.” 

“We're so excited to deepen our partnership with Stanley 1913. They've spent generations building products that last, and through this multi-year commitment, we're investing in water projects built to do the same, serving communities for years to come.” 

Communities affected by the world water crisis spend hours every day walking to collect water for their families, with women and girls responsible for collecting water in 70% of households. Not only does walking for water prevent kids from attending school and parents from pursuing work, but the water collected often carries diseases that lead to illness. When a community gets access to clean water, the ripple effects are meaningful and apparent, improving overall health, increasing access to food, growing local economies, and helping kids spend more time in school.   

Stanley 1913 Europe first partnered with charity: water in 2023, amplifying the organization's mission through sales campaigns, micro-fundraising events, and employee engagement.  

“After seeing such incredible momentum across our European campaigns, formalizing this multiyear global partnership was the natural next step” says Matt Navarro, Global Brand President. “When a global hydration and sustainability leader like Stanley 1913 partners with a purpose-driven organization like charity: water to bring clean water to the world—it simply doesn't get more authentic than that.”  

In May 2026, Stanley 1913 leaders visited Uganda to experience charity: water’s life-changing work first-hand. While in the field, the team met with local experts, experienced different types of water access points, and participated in local community life. Additionally, the brand’s global offices showed their solidarity and shared commitment by participating in office-held Water Walks, raising funds for an additional water project.  

“For our brand, water isn’t just what we carry. It’s what connects us. And for the 696 million people living without reliable access to clean water, it’s everything.” says Emily Cichy, VP of Sustainability and Social Impact. “We were honored and humbled to be welcomed in Uganda by the local partners and community leaders who are making a difference on the ground every single day.” 

Since 2023, the Stanley 1913 brand has partnered with charity: water to bring clean water to communities around the world. By next Spring 2027, an estimated 16,000 people will have access to clean, safe water, thanks to projects funded by Stanley 1913. Today, we’re close to halfway to this figure, with more than 7,000 people currently drinking clean water across 37 projects in Cambodia, Kenya, Madagascar, Niger, and Sierra Leone.  

Over the next three years, Stanley 1913 commits to this same mission, aiming to help 37,500 more people around the world access safe drinking water. 

In partnership with charity: water and in celebration of what’s to come, Stanley 1913 is releasing a special edition Flowstate™ Spring bottle inspired by charity: water’s impact, with funds from each bottle going toward the cause. This product is expected to launch in Spring 2027.
