The Water and Environment grant is part of the Keep Communities
Flowing Grant Program, which focuses on three pillars of giving:
Water, People and Communities. The total award of $1 million will
support high-impact projects and initiatives that further American
Water's commitment to supporting ESG (environment, social and
governance), as well as inclusion, diversity and equity.
"The American Water Charitable Foundation's support will further
our efforts to address water quality and litter issues in our
watersheds, particularly in our urban neighborhoods. Reaching out
through environmental education and community programs, we hope to
better open the doors to nature in our Chattanooga Creek
watershed," said WaterWays Executive Director, Mary Beth Sutton.
"We are grateful to the American Water Charitable Foundation and
Tennessee American Water for their long-term partnership and
support for our mission as we mark our 20th anniversary in
protecting and restoring our waterways where we live, work and
play."
Grant recipients impact communities that align with American
Water's regulated state subsidiaries in California, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. Regional events to celebrate
local efforts are forthcoming.
“The American Water Charitable Foundation is pleased to partner
with eligible organizations to provide equitable and accessible
projects and programs focused on clean water, conservation,
environmental education and water-based recreation across American
Water's footprint,” said Carrie Williams, President, American Water
Charitable Foundation. "The Water and Environment Grant Program
allows us to continue focusing on our core passion of water while
engaging community members in learning how every drop counts."
Due to the volume of grant applications received, each
application was evaluated on a competitive basis as we strive to
fund programs with a strong impact and measurable outcomes within
our funding priorities.
