Organization: American Water
Opportunity Description: Illinois American Water is committed to environmental stewardship and community-based support. In collaboration with the American Water Charitable Foundation, we are excited to launch the Hydration Station Grant Program! This program provides communities within our service area with access to safe, reliable tap water to hydrate immediately or refill personal, reusable bottles.
This program will award bottle filling stations to select eligible organizations that serve Illinois American Water’s service territory. Individuals are not eligible to receive a grant.
Applicants must be registered with the IRS as a 501(c)(3) public charity and provide public access to the bottle filling station, or a K-12 public school, college, or university. To focus our giving, there are projects and organizations the American Water Charitable Foundation doesn’t fund- this includes individuals, government entities such as townships or municipalities, faith-based and religious organizations such as churches, synagogues, mosques, and other organizations that automatically qualify for 501(c)(3) status as a church. Exceptions to public charity status may occur on a limited basis.
We are pleased to offer assistance to community partners to help make a positive impact on the environment, and we encourage you to apply if you meet the criteria outlined above.
Carrying a reusable bottle and drinking tap water can save you money and create lifelong healthy and fiscal habits!
