The American Water Charitable Foundation (AWCF), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization created by American Water (NYSE: AWK), the nation’s largest publicly traded water and wastewater utility company, announced today it is providing grants totaling $20,000 to assist communities impacted by this past weekend’s devastating tornadoes in Kentucky and Illinois, two of the states where the company operates.
