Corporations that forge public-private alliances with the Global Water for Sustainability program will help to stimulate economic growth, address heath and environmental issues, and expand access to education and technology. Because GLOWS works in communities on-the-ground, builds capacity among local organizations, and strengthens international cooperation, there are multiple ways a mutually beneficial partnership can be forged between GLOWS and your corporation.

Sustainable Youth Education and Scholarships Corporations can bring real change to communities where they work by sponsoring youth educational programs and by providing scholoarships for talented students to pursue advanced studies.  GLOWS collaborates with local organizations to develop educational programs in local schools, and GLOWS offers advanced training in the USA for qualified students. Corporations can also provide mini-scholarships for participants in GLOWS in-country training courses.

Community Projects Corporations can contribute directly to communities in basins where GLOWS works or elsewhere. For example, there is a great need for wells in the Mara and Pastaza basins. By partnering with GLOWS, corporations multiply the effects of smaller contributions, and their small projects are effectively integrated into GLOWS' larger development programs.  Other community project ideas include reforestation of river banks, small-scale water purification systems in schools, and infrastructural support for local water user associations.

International Leadership Corporations can partner with GLOWS in international events and campaigns to spread the word about integrated water resources management. GLOWS regularly organizes events and special panels at international gatherings such as the Inter American Conference of Mayors and Local Authorities and World Water Day. Campaigns geared to the general public reach the maximal number of people and demonstrate a company's commitment to people where they work.
