01 / WHY WE EXIST

A healthier world starts
with everyday essentials.

Access to water and a cleaner environment should be part of everyday life. OpenRound Foundation brings people together around these essentials, connecting local support with practical help for families.

Since April 5, 2016, we have been committed to this work — over 10 years of philanthropy. Our focus is simple: support water supply, encourage recycling, and keep communities at the heart of the effort.

02 / WHAT WE CARE ABOUT

Two causes.
One shared future.

Care for people.
Care for the resources we share.

01

Water for daily life.

We support efforts that improve water supply and help families meet their everyday needs. We believe practical, community-centered solutions can make a difference.

Support our water efforts
02

More life. Less waste.

Recycling and responsible use of resources belong in the same conversation. We support recycling efforts as part of our commitment to a cleaner, healthier world.

Connect around recycling

MORE WAYS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

We work a little
differently.

Your time has value.
Your skills can open possibilities.

Direct funding is always welcome. But giving can also mean sharing your time, your experience, and the skill set you excel in. A few consulting hours can help move this cause forward.

01 / SHARE YOUR EXPERTISE

Donate a few consulting hours.

Offer time in the work you do best — whether that is planning, technology, design, operations, or another valuable skill. Tell us what you can contribute, and let’s explore where it can help.

02 / BRING YOUR WORKPLACE ALONG

Let everyday work do more.

Let your employer or end client know they can support this cause through OpenRound Foundation. Even a few pennies tied to the work you are doing can become meaningful support when people take part together.

Eligible financial contributions may qualify for a tax deduction, subject to applicable rules. Under U.S. rules, the value of donated time and services is not deductible. See IRS guidance.

03 / GROW THE SUPPORT

Your support can go further.

We have partners who will match support we receive from you. Write to us to discuss your contribution and the matching support available for it.

Give funds. Share skills. Bring someone along.
There is more than one way to widen the circle.

so much more.
