KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Water.org, the global nonprofit working to bring safe water and sanitation to the world, is launching Get Blue™, a community created in partnership with Gap Inc., Starbucks, Amazon, and Ecolab to help Bring Water Home™.

More than 2 billion people lack access to safe water — that's one in four people globally. For many families, water is out of reach resulting in hours of walking, high costs, or relying on unsafe sources — a daily reality that costs people their time, health, and futures. No one should have to wait, walk, or overpay for safe water. Get Blue is a collective effort to change this, helping scale Water.org's proven solutions to reach more people.

Get Blue makes it easy to act. When you shop Get Blue products or donate directly, you are helping support Water.org's local financial partners provide small, affordable loans so families can get the pipes, pumps, or plumbing they need at home. $5 helps one person, and $25 helps a family get lasting access to safe water or sanitation — it's impact that keeps on giving. In fact, when a loan is repaid (and 98% are), that money can help another family get a loan to bring safe water home. It's a pay-it-forward approach that helps families solve the problem themselves, and the more people Water.org reaches, the further each dollar goes.

"Water.org has changed the future for more than 90 million people, proving our solutions work at scale," says Gary White, CEO and co-founder of Water.org. "To bring water home for everyone, everywhere within our lifetimes, we have to scale even faster. That's why Water.org launched Get Blue — a community built on collaboration, bringing together industry leaders, creators, and people to take action. When brands join us, they invite their communities into this work. That is how progress happens — one person, one action at a time."

Get Blue is brought to life through its founding partners who have created products and experiences that make it simple for people to participate. Upcoming launches include:

Gap: The Get Blue Drop

Gap's limited-edition Get Blue Collection reimagines classic Gap icons like denim, tees, and sweats to help end the global water crisis. Gap brings years of experience reducing water use across its supply chain, having saved more than 6 billion liters of water since 2016.

Launching today, the assortment spans adults, kids, and toddler and will be available in select Gap stores and online at gap.com. With each purchase from the Get Blue Collection, Gap will donate $5 to Water.org, helping empower people in need with the resources to get safe water at home.

Starbucks: Blue Drinks for Big Impact

On June 16, Starbucks will launch two limited-edition drinks created exclusively to support Get Blue:

The Iced Blue Coconut Matcha: Tropical and creamy, this iced Matcha features sweet mango flavors and is topped with a vibrant Toasted Coconut Cold Foam blended with blue spirulina.
The Blue Coconut Refresher: Toasted coconut, strawberry, and acai flavors are hand-shaken with ice and blue spirulina. This beverage is where vibrant flavor meets summer refreshment.

From June 16 through July 7, Starbucks will donate $0.25 to Water.org for every purchase of the Iced Blue Coconut Matcha or a Blue Coconut Refresher, making it simple for customers to spark change with an everyday routine, like ordering a Starbucks beverage.

Starbucks has a long-standing commitment to expanding access to safe water in the communities it serves, including coffee, tea, and cocoa-growing regions. Through its partnership with Water.org and investment in WaterEquity — the impact-investing asset manager established by Water.org to mobilize capital for water and sanitation solutions — Starbucks has helped more than 700,000 people gain access to safe water or sanitation.

Amazon: Shop, Stream, Support

Starting this summer, Amazon will integrate Get Blue across its business to make it simple for customers to take action on the global water crisis — whether through their voice, their listening habits, or their everyday shopping. Highlights include:

Donate with Alexa+: Simply say "Alexa, donate to Get Blue" and Amazon will contribute $5 on their behalf, at no cost to the customer. It's an easy way to help connect someone to safe water access.
Stream It Forward with Amazon Music: Every time a customer plays a participating artist's REDISCOVER playlist on Amazon Music, Amazon donates $1 to Water.org, turning everyday listening into safe water for communities in need.
The Get Blue Storefront: A dedicated storefront on Amazon brings together exclusive Get Blue products — including curated selections from coalition partners — with a portion of every purchase supporting Water.org.

Amazon is a long-time partner of Water.org, helping change the lives of 1.25 million people with access to safe water or sanitation. Amazon also made a catalytic donation to Water.org to help WaterEquity launch its Water & Climate Resilience Fund, an investment vehicle focused on climate resilient infrastructure in emerging markets.

Ecolab: Connecting Water Savings with Community Impact

Ecolab provides global water solutions and services for businesses across more than 40 industries, helping them use water more efficiently, improve operational performance, and protect local water supplies.

As the official water management partner of Get Blue, Ecolab will commit $1 million through the Ecolab Foundation, with $500K delivered immediately and $500K delivered upon helping its customers achieve 255 billion gallons of water savings through the use of its products this year.

Additional Brands Join the Get Blue Community

Support for Get Blue continues to grow with the following companies signing on as the newest Get Blue partners committed to helping solve the global water crisis.

AccuWeather: As the official weather partner for Get Blue, AccuWeather will feature a full campaign takeover on its app and network on June 9 to raise awareness and drive donations for Get Blue, and the company will continue to support donations online throughout the month of June.
Ripple: As Get Blue's exclusive digital asset and payments partner, Ripple is providing vital seed funding that builds on its collaboration with Water.org. Through Ripple Payments and Ripple USD (RLUSD), Water.org can move funds faster and more cost-effectively to microfinance partners — supporting affordable loans for the water and sanitation solutions families need to survive and thrive.
TikTok: This summer, TikTok will support Get Blue in a variety of ways to inspire its global community to learn about the water crisis and take action via creator storytelling and community engagement.

Additional partners, product launches and activations will roll out in the coming months to help bring safe water home.

Recruiting the Music Community to Drive Action

To raise awareness of the water crisis and ignite collective community action around Get Blue, Water.org co-founder Matt Damon is using creativity and dynamic storytelling in service of the mission. Dropping today in a short video, Damon attempts a new career as a rapper — The Nomad (Damon spelled backwards) — who is determined to create music to educate and mobilize consumers for safe water access. In the video, Damon debuts his self-written rap and calls on friends Hit-Boy, a GRAMMY^® Award-winning artist and producer, alongside Teddy Walton, a GRAMMY Award-winning songwriter, producer, and DJ, to collaborate with him to spread the Get Blue message far and wide. Producer Aaron Bow also collaborated with Walton on the creative effort.

"Music moves people in ways that few things can. It connects us, crosses borders, and makes us feel part of something bigger than ourselves. That's what Get Blue is built on," says Damon. "I won't stop looking for creative ways to draw attention, encourage participation and drive donations to help solve the global water crisis. Now, through the Get Blue community, there are easy ways to get involved whether you shop, donate directly, or share on social. I'm inviting my friends, colleagues, and anyone who cares about water access to join us and help Bring Water Home."

Mobilizing Creators and the TikTok Community to Join #GetBlue

Anyone can be part of the Get Blue community by joining #GetBlue on TikTok. To raise awareness of the more than 2 billion people who lack access to safe water at home, Get Blue supporters are encouraged to film themselves changing one thing blue — like wearing their favorite Get Blue product, painting their nails blue, or swapping to a blue reusable water bottle — then nominate friends and followers to do the same and pass it on using #GetBlue.
