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. Learn more about
