Families and communities around the world - currently over 2.2 billion people - are without access to clean water. This work feeds our hearts and souls. 

Since its creation in 2023, The Sawyer Foundation has provided over $1,000,000 in funds to support clean water projects across the globe, and this Giving Tuesday Sawyer will be matching all donations made to help fund this life-saving work.

Here’s what your donation helps make possible - 

  • Thorough and sustainable training and maintenance programs that allow our water filters to last over a decade of daily use. 
  • Essential logistics for charity partners including freight and transportation between projects. 
  • Research and data-collection of health outcomes, socio-economic benefits to communities, and long-term use to ensure the solution we’re providing for communities is impactful and sustainable.
  • Support for rapid response to disasters that impact access to clean water across the globe.

With Sawyer’s clothing and gear permethrin, you can spray your gear instead of yourself. And the odorless spray effectively works up to six weeks or washings. For turkey hunters, one dousing of Sawyer’s permethrin on your vest and gear should last you an entire season.

Water filters are a must in the backcountry and the go-to filter that almost everyone uses is the lightweight hollow fiber micro-membrane filter called Sawyer Squeeze.

Personally, I use Sawyer’s Fabric Treatment–available in pump or spray–for my hunting and hiking clothes.
