American Water Charitable Foundation Announces National Partnership With American Red Cross With $250,000 Donation - Seite 2

The Foundation supports three pillars of giving – Water, People and Communities. Funding for the American Red Cross is provided by the Foundation’s Disaster Relief Grant Program, which supports disaster response and relief efforts in communities served by American Water nationwide.

“We take great pride in supporting the Red Cross in its mission to provide aid, stability and hope to communities during times of great adversity. Enabling swift action by responders during disasters can help communities become more resilient during recovery,” added Carrie Williams, President, American Water Charitable Foundation.

At American Water, employees play a vital role in community partnerships at the local level. Employee volunteers support the American Red Cross by organizing blood drives, serving on regional boards, and participating in other initiatives.

“As a board member of the American Red Cross New Jersey Chapter, I am proud that the American Water Charitable Foundation has become a National Disaster Responder Program member,” said Nicholl Salamone, Senior Director, Human Resources Operations, American Water and American Red Cross New Jersey Chapter Board Member. “I've seen firsthand how the Red Cross responds to emergencies, provides comfort and hope to families and how they educate people on how to prepare for and prevent disasters.”

Additionally, in 2023 the American Water Charitable Foundation, in collaboration with American Water’s Military Services Group, awarded a $15,000 State Strategic Impact grant to the American Red Cross, Service to the Armed Forces Giving Program, in support of military members, veterans and families as they prepare for and respond to the challenges of military service.

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 the American Water Charitable Foundation here.
