Expanding Opportunity. Empowering People. Creating Lasting Change.
Causes We Believe In
Philanthropy is at the heart of Blue Water Companies. Guided by founder Jett McCandless, our philanthropic work focuses on expanding opportunity for people who face systemic barriers to safety, stability, and success.
We invest in organizations supporting women who have experienced abuse, underserved communities, and individuals who need a path toward rebuilding their lives.
Jett has made a long-term personal commitment to philanthropy, donating one-third of his net worth to nonprofit organizations serving women in crisis. His belief in human potential, and in the power of a helping hand at the right moment, shapes every philanthropic partnership we pursue.
Building a brighter future for planet earth must coincide with sustainability.
Sustainability is core to Jett and Blue Water Companies’ philosophy, and we encourage everyone to join us as we work towards making the world a better place to live.
Blue Water Companies champions organizations that protect natural resources, promote climate resilience, and educate communities on sustainable practices. Stewardship of our planet directly aligns with our commitment to a net-zero carbon footprint.
Restoring safety, dignity, and the chance to rebuild.
A significant portion of our giving is directed toward organizations that provide crisis care, safety resources, trauma counseling, and long-term support for women who have experienced sexual abuse, domestic violence, or exploitation.
We believe every survivor deserves safety, dignity, and the opportunity to rebuild.
Expanding opportunity where it has historically been limited.
We support nonprofits focused on access to education, workforce development, mental health, and community advancement. Our goal is to remove barriers and expand opportunities for individuals who have historically been overlooked.
Empowering people with the resources to rise and thrive.
We invest in initiatives that empower individuals through mentorship, training, and resources that ignite personal growth. Jett has seen the transformation that occurs when someone’s resilience is matched with support, and we work to scale that impact.
