Kentucky American Water Proudly Recognizes American Water Charitable Foundation State Strategic Grantees

The American Water Charitable Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization established by American Water, the largest publicly traded U.S. water and wastewater utility company, recently awarded 2022 State Strategic grants to The Foster Care Council and Junior Achievement of the Bluegrass, both headquartered in Lexington, and Elizabeth’s Village, based in Georgetown, Ky.  Each organization receives a $5,000 grant.

“We are excited that the American Water Charitable Foundation has selected these organizations to receive grants. These funds will assist their efforts to provide academic enrichment, clothing and mentoring opportunities for children in foster care; provide financial education to youth; and provide transitional housing with education, support services and community partnerships for women and women with children,” said Kentucky American Water President Kathryn Nash. “We look forward to seeing their impact now and in years to come.”

The grants are part of the American Water Charitable Foundation’s Keep Communities Flowing Grant Program, focusing on three pillars of giving: Water, People and Communities. 

“The American Water Charitable Foundation is pleased to partner with organizations across Kentucky American Water’s service area to further strengthen communities,” said Carrie Williams, president, American Water Charitable Foundation.
