BNCF

Bottleless Nation Charitable Foundation

Founded in July 2023 with a singular goal: to leave it better than we found it. And by “it,” we mean our planet.
Our Mission

To support organizations and initiatives focused on reducing plastic production and waste, promoting environmental cleanup, and providing safe, clean water to communities in need around the world.

charity: water (2024 & 2025)

charity: water is grounded in a simple, life-changing mission: to bring clean and safe drinking water to people in need. Access to clean water is essential to human health and dignity - values that align directly with our commitment to supporting people and the planet. This shared purpose makes charity: water a natural partner for the Bottleless Nation Charitable Foundation.

Our Charitable Contributions

To date, the BNCF has contributed $102,000 to charity: water, supporting two major water projects:

  • The installation of two hand pumps in Mozambique’s Nampula province
  • A School Water Point and Sanitation Project in Rwanda

The Impact

With the support of BNCF, these systems will provide thousands of people with reliable access to clean, safe water - reducing waterborne illness, improving school attendance, and creating meaningful long-term change for the communities they serve.

Keep America Beautiful (2024)

Keep America Beautiful has a long-standing mission to inspire and educate people to take action every day to improve and beautify their communities. Their focus on litter reduction, recycling, and community engagement aligns directly with BNCF’s commitment to environmental stewardship and plastic waste reduction.

Our Charitable Contributions

In our inaugural year of giving, the BNCF donated $23,500 to support KAB’s community outreach and environmental education programs.

We also joined KAB’s #152PickUpChallenge, where individuals and teams commit to picking up 152 pieces of litter in honor of Earth Day.

The Impact

Bottleless Nation volunteers collected 387 bags of litter, which we estimate equals nearly 63,855 pieces of waste removed from local communities. Our partnership helped strengthen cleanup efforts nationwide while inspiring our own teams to take meaningful action in the places they live and work.

5 Gyres (2025)

5 Gyres is a leader in the global fight against plastic pollution, leveraging science, community engagement, and advocacy to drive policy change and create measurable environmental impact. Their mission directly complements Bottleless Nation’s work to reduce plastic waste and eliminate single-use plastics, making them a clear choice for our 2025 contributions.

Our Charitable Contributions

The BNCF contributed $30,000 to support 5 Gyres’ microplastics-specific scientific research. Our funding backed their Floating Wetlands initiative - an innovative project designed to capture and mitigate microplastics before they reach marine environments.

The Impact

Together, we’ve helped accelerate the development of scalable science-based strategies to reduce microplastic contamination. This collaboration strengthens the global effort to protect waterways, preserve marine ecosystems, and build a healthier planet for future generations.

WHY IT MATTERS

Driven by a Shared Commitment

At BNCF, we’re committed to creating lasting change. Through partnerships and impactful projects, we work to protect clean water, reduce plastic pollution, and preserve ecosystems for future generations.

Earth Day Cleanup

Each year on Earth Day, the Bottleless Nation team takes part in a company-wide litter cleanup. From city streets to local parks, we roll up our sleeves to remove waste, restore shared spaces, and demonstrate our commitment to a cleaner, healthier planet. This annual tradition reflects our belief that sustainability is more than a mission - it’s action, impact, and responsibility in motion.
