Fill it Forward

The Fill It Forward program is designed to incentivize students to use reusable water bottles on campus by giving prizes for refilling their bottles and discontinuing the use of plastic disposable bottles. Since its inception in August of 2018 there have been over 26,000 refills registered on the Fill It Forward app.

When a refill tag is scanned with the app, users help give a symbolic ‘cup of clean water’ that is equivalent to a minimum $0.02 donation from Fill It Forward. These individual actions add up quickly and as project milestones are achieved, Fill It Forward sends donations to charitable partners with a focus on the development of water project infrastructure in areas where people need it most. These trusted charitable partners specialize in providing access to water, hygiene, and sanitation to high priority communities. Their proactive approach often takes the form of long term (5-10 year) initiatives, focused on implementing sustainable infrastructure that solve core issues both locally and globally.
