American Water Works Company's (NYSE:AWK) charitable foundation has launched a 2026 Water and Environment Grant Program to fund community projects focused on clean water access, conservation efforts, and environmental education. The program underscores the company's role as a regulated water utility closely tied to community outcomes and public infrastructure. Investors should track the program's adoption, project funding, and communication to stakeholders, as these non-financial factors can matter for a water utility's operating environment.
