ABOUT THE BOTTLELESS NATION CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
The Bottleless Nation Charitable Foundation (BNCF) was founded in July 2023 with a singular goal: to leave it better than we found it. And by “it,” we mean our planet. A group of thirteen industry veterans, with deep experience in the bottleless water and ice market as well as nonprofit work, came together to form the Board of the BNCF. Our drive is to combat the challenges preventing people from having access to clean, safe drinking water—such as limited access, plastic pollution, microplastics, and environmental degradation.
Our mission
To support organizations and initiatives focused on reducing plastic production and waste, promoting environmental cleanup, and providing safe, clean water to communities in need around the world.
FUNDING THE BNCF
Key Partnerships
BNCF is able to make our annual charitable donations thanks to the generosity of several key partnerships. A significant portion of our funding comes from Artesian Bottleless Water and Office H2O, two Bottleless Nation companies dedicated to selling and servicing bottleless water coolers and ice machines across the United States. A portion of their installation fees goes directly to our foundation’s donation pool. In addition to these contributions, Pure Water Partners, our billing organization, plays an integral role by channeling a portion of annual late fees. This combined effort reflects our shared commitment to driving change and uplifting communities by protecting the environment and improving access to clean water around the world.
2024: THE BNCF’S INAUGURAL YEAR OF GIVING
Making an Impact with Keep America Beautiful
In our first year of giving, the BNCF donated over $63.5K to organizations whose missions align with ours. In 2024, the Board chose to support Keep America Beautiful (KAB), contributing $23.5K to support their community outreach and educational programs. These funds helped KAB organize volunteers across the country to participate in local environmental cleanups. The entire Bottleless Nation organization was inspired by this partnership and participated in our own company-wide cleanup on Earth Day 2024 – read more about the impact made here!
2025: CONTINUING TO CREATE CHANGE
Continued Support for charity: water
The BNCF donated a total of $92K in our second annual year of charitable giving. Building on the success of 2024, the Board once again chose to support charity: water, with a $62K donation funding a new School Water Point and Sanitization Project in Rwanda. This initiative will provide clean water and sanitation facilities for schoolchildren, improving health and education outcomes in the region.
Combating Microplastics with 5 Gyres
Additionally, we are proud to announce a new partnership with 5 Gyres, an organization dedicated to addressing the global threat of microplastics. BNCF contributed $30K to fund 5 Gyres’ Floating Wetlands Project, an innovative research initiative aimed at capturing microplastics before they enter the ocean, ultimately protecting marine ecosystems and improving ocean health.
