Doing well by doing good has been a long-standing tradition at Pentair, as reflected in our Win Right Values. As a global, responsible corporate citizen we are committed to lead in the communities where we live and work. Since 1998, Pentair and the Pentair Foundation have donated more than $78 million to philanthropic causes strengthening the communities in which we operate as well as providing safe, clean water to nearly three million people every day in the developing world.

Pentair and the Pentair Foundation operate independent grantmaking programs.  Together, these programs engage in grantmaking that is focused on the following areas:

Education

Junior Achievement Water Shop with Kids

Pentair supports educational programming.

  • Pentair and the Pentair Foundation consider funding grant proposals that include, but are not limited to:
    • STEM education as it relates to water engineering or STEM education in the communities where Pentair has operations;
    • Increased access to educational opportunities for underserved communities in developing countries, especially for women and girls; and
    • Other water education initiatives such as water safety education (swimming) for underserved populations.

Pentair and the Pentair Foundation have moved to an invitation only grant cycle. If you have an initiative you would like Pentair to consider, please contact pentaircsr@pentair.com.

Pentair and Pentair Foundation are each engaged in grantmaking and philanthropic efforts that align with the charitable and educational objectives described above.    While Pentair’s and Pentair Foundation’s charitable goals are consistent, their grantmaking programs are administered separately and are subject to different standards.   All grants and activities conducted by Pentair Foundation are carefully structured to ensure they directly further its tax-exempt purposes and are consistent with the limitations on its activities as a tax-exempt private foundation.
