Camden-based American Water Charitable Foundation has again donated $250,000 to the American Red Cross, continuing its membership in the Disaster Responder Program.
The Disaster Responder Program comprises organizations and companies that take a proactive approach toward disaster relief by pledging donations in advance of disasters.
These donations power the Red Cross, providing robust infrastructure, trained volunteers, innovative technology, and the critical resources needed to deliver relief and support when disasters occur.
The program helps ensure the Red Cross is better prepared to meet the needs of those affected by disasters, both big and small, across the United States.
Additionally, American Water’s Military Services Group has awarded Foundation State Strategic Impact grants to the American Red Cross Services to the Armed Forces, supporting military members, veterans, and their families as they prepare for and respond to the challenges of military service.
These employee volunteers strengthen this partnership through coordinated blood drives, serving on regional boards, and engaging in a range of additional Red Cross initiatives.
Since 2012, the American Water Charitable Foundation has invested over $25 million to positively benefit the communities where American Water and its employees live and work.
Last year, the American Water Charitable Foundation made $5.7 million in charitable contributions.
