Our story
Water is life. Giving is how we carry it to each other.
The Giving Water was created to give your community the chance to give — turning something as simple as a bottle of water into a wave of opportunity for the people who need it most.
"A rising tide floats all boats."
DAWN WEIR · FOUNDER & CEO
Dawn started The Giving Water
One founder. One belief. Every drop matters.
Founder & CEO Dawn Weir built The Giving Water on a simple conviction: that generosity, like water, should flow freely to wherever it's needed. From Las Vegas, Nevada, she set out to connect two things that rarely meet — the goodwill of businesses and the urgent needs of communities in crisis.
The result is a new kind of giving Dawn calls Conscious Commerce: sponsors put their brand on the label and cover the cost, we produce and deliver the water for free, and charities, events, and disaster-struck families receive it at no cost. Everybody gives. Everybody wins. Nobody's budget is harmed.
Whether you are called to us by profit or providence is of no matter. The Giving Water is at the center of giving and abundance.Meet our board
What we believe
Hope should always outweigh tragedy.
Americans helping Americans
Farmers, firefighters, veterans, first responders, families, neighbors — when disaster strikes, we stand together.
Water first
In every emergency, clean drinking water is the need that comes before comfort, before rebuilding, before recovery.
Give without sacrifice
Generosity shouldn't cost a community its stability. We make giving joyful, simple, and sustainable for everyone involved.
Transparency
100% of the water is given. 75% of every donation makes water; 10% goes straight to local community needs.
Community
We create a tidal wave of funding for charities and causes while building the community you want to live in.
Dignity
Never sympathy — belief. We tell stories of resilience and hope, and we treat every person we serve with respect.
