The American Water Charitable Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit
organization created by American Water, the nation’s largest
publicly traded water and wastewater utility company, announced
today it is awarding a $50,000 Disaster Relief Grant to the Flint
Child Health & Development Fund of the Community Foundation of
Greater Flint to support children and families impacted by the
water crisis in Flint, Michigan.
The Flint Child Health & Development Fund of the Community
Foundation of Greater Flint was founded by Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha
to help with the recent drinking water crisis, noting tremendous
funding needs to help address the “ongoing and long-term” health
effects on particularly younger children. The Fund is intended to
supplement state and federal government funds pledged to help
Flint.
“As the foundation for the nation’s largest publicly traded
water company, the American Water Charitable Foundation is pleased
to join others in supporting the people and specifically the
children who have been impacted by the water crisis in Flint,” said
Darlene Williams, President, American Water Charitable Foundation.
“While not in the American Water service area, we understand how
critical water is to the lives of people in all communities and we
hope this contribution can help in some small way.”
In addition to the Disaster Relief Grant, all active full-time
American Water employees and members of its board of directors are
eligible to participate in the Foundation’s Volunteer and Matching
Gift Programs to a maximum of $1,000 per employee, per year.
