Pennsylvania American Water Announces Launch of American Water Charitable Foundation 2024 Water and Environment Grant Program

Company’s former Environmental Grant Program merges with Foundation grant program

Pennsylvania American Water is delighted to announce the launch of the American Water Charitable Foundation 2024 Water and Environment Grant Program. To streamline the grant experience for its community partners, the Foundation has combined Pennsylvania American Water’s former Environmental Grant Program with its Water and Environment Grant Program. This strategic integration will strengthen the Foundation’s charitable focus and impact across American Water’s footprint.

“Since 2005, Pennsylvania American Water has supported more than 135 local projects that aim to restore, improve and maintain local watershed projects through our Environmental Grant Program,” said Justin Ladner, president of Pennsylvania American Water and member of the Foundation’s Board of Trustees. “Expanding our partnership with the American Water Charitable Foundation through the Water and Environment Grant Program will allow us to further assist community organizations working to improve our environment more efficiently and with additional resources.”

The Foundation invites community partners to apply for grants that promote clean water, conservation, environmental education, climate variability and water-based recreation projects. Applications will be accepted from organizations served by American Water and located in the following states, in addition to its Military Service locations: California, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.

“The American Water Charitable Foundation is proud to work collaboratively with Pennsylvania American Water and launch the Water and Environment Grant Program, supporting impactful initiatives and programs across the nation,” said Carrie Williams, President of the American Water Charitable Foundation. “Our charitable focus to Keep Communities Flowing empowers communities to learn how every drop counts while engaging local organizations on the importance of protecting this vital resource.”

The Foundation supports three pillars of giving – Water, People and Communities. Since 2012, the American Water Charitable Foundation has invested $15.5 million in funding through grants and matching gifts that positively benefit the communities where American Water and its employees live and work.
