Partnerships
Safe water is a team sport.
WaterStep’s greatest impact comes through partnership. NGOs who know their communities. Commercial teams who scale our technology. Funders and collaborators who show up. This is how the work gets done.
Local roots. Global reach.
WaterStep’s technology works because the people using it are already working. Local NGOs know their community. Mission teams understand the context on the ground. Commercial partners scale what we have built. Our job is to bring the technology, the training, and the support, and then get out of the way.
The result is a partnership model that delivers safe water and disinfectant solutions faster, cheaper, and more durably than any one organization could on its own. Whether you are an NGO looking for water technology, a commercial team exploring licensing, or an organization wanting to collaborate on a specific project, there is a way to help a community together.
Ways to Partner
NGO Partnerships
If your organization works in a water-stressed community, we want to hear from you. Our NGO partnerships pair WaterStep’s technology and training with partners who have the local relationships, context, and reach to deliver.
Commercial Opportunities
WaterStep technology is patented and commercial-ready. Explore B2B product sales, licensing, and distribution for water treatment, drilling, and emergency response applications.
Current Partners
Meet the manufacturing, distribution, funding, and advocacy partners who make this work possible. Our partner network includes organizations like The Carter Center, GE Appliances, and dozens of NGOs operating across four continents.
Work With Us / Careers
Open staff positions, internships, and volunteer opportunities in Louisville and remotely. Join the team that builds and deploys the technology behind every WaterStep partnership.
How We Work With Partners
A five-step path from inquiry to impact.
1. Initial inquiry. You reach out. We want to understand who you serve, where you are, and what you are trying to do.
2. Needs assessment. Together we walk through your community’s water situation, existing infrastructure, and scale.
3. Technology match. We recommend the right combination of WaterStep tools and training.
4. Deployment and training. Equipment ships. Your team completes operator training. The first system goes live.
5. Ongoing support. Our team stays available for field questions, troubleshooting, and scaling your program over time.
Let’s start the conversation.
Tell us who you serve and what you are trying to do. Our team will follow up within two business days.
