Missouri American Water’s 2024 Hydration Station Grant Program Accepting Applications March 15 Through April 30

Missouri American Water will begin accepting applications for
its 2024 Hydration Station Grant Program on March 15. Last year the
company awarded funding to seventeen schools, cities, and nonprofit
organizations to purchase drinking fountains and bottle filling
stations.
“The program is designed to make safe and healthy hydration more
accessible in public spaces while promoting environmental
stewardship,” said Rich Svindland, President of Missouri American
Water. “Programs that eliminate plastic waste in our waterways are
also critically important to the protection of drinking water
sources.”
Each day in the United States more than 60 million plastic water
bottles are thrown away and not recycled, according to the
Container Recycling Institute. Hydration stations help reduce the
number of single-use plastic bottles that end up in landfills and
sources of drinking water.
“Thanks to the generous support from Missouri American Water,
Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Charles County was able to purchase a
much-needed Hydration Station for the O’Fallon Club Unit,” said
Aleisha Mulnix, the Director of Resource Development for Boys &
Girls Clubs of St. Charles County. “We’re not just offering an easy
way to refill water bottles; we're fostering a culture of
sustainability, health, and well-being. It's a small change with a
big impact.”
Applications for this year’s program will be accepted online
March 15 through April 30, 2024. To be eligible, applicants
must receive their tap water service from Missouri American Water.
Special consideration will be given to applications from
underserved communities. Applicants who did not receive a grant
last year are eligible to reapply.
