In celebration of its five-year commitment to helping address the U.S. water crisis, the Nalgene Water Fund (NWF), established by Nalgene Outdoor announced a $50,000 donation to DigDeep's Appalachia Water Project (AWP). The contribution brings Nalgene's mission to a region long sought out by its enthusiasts for its epic outdoor adventures and awe-inspiring landscapes, yet many communities there still lack access to clean, reliable water and basic sanitation. To express appreciation for Appalachia's beauty and engage its fans in supporting the region's pressing water crisis, Nalgene Outdoor is launching a limited-edition bottle inspired by Appalachia's iconic blue ridgelines and rivers.
Available May 21 exclusively at Nalgene.com, each $20 bottle contributes $5 to the Nalgene Water Fund in support of DigDeep's community-led work to deliver long-term water solutions. Communities supported by the fund include: Flint, MI: With Thermo Fisher Scientific, helped launch the Flint Community Water Lab with $650,000 in equipment, funding, and bottles. Benton Harbor, MI: Donated $13,000 and 2,000 bottles to install lead-filtering refill stations in district schools.
Navajo Nation: Raised nearly $80,000 with Dine designer Jaden Red hair to support DigDeep's Navajo Water Project and COPE. Western North Carolina: Donated $10,000 and 2,000 bottle to Water Mission following Hurricane Helene. Like all Nalgene bottles, it's BPA/BPS-free, dishwasher safe, leakproof, and made from 50% recycled materials (ISCC-certified).
supporters can also contribute by purchasing RockNRefill bottles at REVERB-supported live music events. Every bottle sold helps fund clean water access for underserved U.S. communities.
