Company Offers Double Match for Employee Giving
this Giving Tuesday
Pentair plc (NYSE: PNR), a leading provider of water treatment
and sustainable solutions, and the Pentair Foundation announce the
twenty-third consecutive year of giving to strengthen communities
around the world, increase access to quality education and provide
safer, cleaner water to people in developing countries. In addition
to its strategic and community grants, the company also extended
its existing matching gift program to include a double match for
all qualifying contributions by employees made to non-profit
organizations on Giving Tuesday, November 30, 2021.
“As a global, responsible corporate citizen we are committed to
leading in our communities where our employees live and work as
well as expanding access to safer water and education in the
developing world,” said Karla Robertson, EVP, General Counsel,
Secretary and Chief Social Responsibility Officer. “In 2021, we
continued the strong legacy of giving that was formalized with the
establishment of the Pentair Foundation more than 20 years ago to
help improve the lives of people around the world today, as well as
for future generations.”
Pentair and the Pentair Foundation operate independent
grantmaking programs to support the communities where Pentair
employees live and work, and are focused on improving access to
cleaner, safer water and quality education in communities where the
needs are greatest including organizations supporting social
justice and equity.
Grants awarded by Pentair and the Pentair Foundation in 2021

than 20 nonprofit organizations in the communities in which Pentair
operates, with 70 percent of recipient organizations serving
underrepresented populations.

Project Safewater Strategic Grants
Pentair and the Pentair Foundation are working to transform the
way safe water is sustainably delivered to people in need. Through
Project Safewater, the company’s long-term holistic approach to
providing safe water solutions, Pentair collaborates with a range
of partners with innovative approaches—combining technology,
micro-enterprise business models, and scientific research—to
provide sustainable access to safe water.
Since 2007, Pentair has implemented numerous Project Safewater
programs around the world, and today provides cleaner, safer
drinking water every day to three million people in the developing
world. In 2021, the Pentair Foundation is providing funding to
three strategic partners to further advance this mission:
- Safe Water Network – Having
launched the first clean water station in India in 2010, ongoing
support of Safe Water Network has delivered clean water to over one
million people in India via the iJal Stations—small water treatment
facilities that produce clean water to be sold at affordable rates.
2021 funding will increase and improve access.
- Shining Hope for Communities
(SHOFCO) – Building upon the success of a previous
collaboration to deliver safe drinking water via an aerial piping
system and state-of-the-art water filtration system in Kibera, an
impoverished settlement in Nairobi, Kenya, the 2021 grant will
expand access to provide filtered water to more people in
Kibera.
- Water Mission – Having launched
the inaugural Project Safewater initiative in Colón, Honduras in
collaboration with Water Mission in 2007, the planned 2021
initiative will expand the program to Mayan communities in
Mexico.
