California American Water has an annual Environmental Grant Program, which awards several grants of up to $10,000. The company is looking for a wide variety of conservation projects that will improve, restore or protect watersheds and drinking water supplies within the state.
These projects may include watershed cleanups, reforestation efforts, biodiversity projects and hazardous waste collection efforts. Any member of the community may lead the project, from individuals to municipalities.
To qualify for the program, proposed projects must be a new or innovative community initiative, or serve as a significant expansion of an existing program.
