What MiiR actually does

MiiR, founded in 2010 in Seattle, Washington, makes stainless steel drinkware and bottles built around its “Give Code” model — every product carries a code customers register to see exactly which project their purchase helped fund, with giving built into every product sold since the company’s founding.

Where the giving shows up

• One Day’s Wages partnership: since 2011, over $200,000 donated to their water fund, financing 45+ water projects, including the first grant that funded three hand-dug wells in Liberia
• Splash: a named $50,000 grant to the water-focused nonprofit Splash
