Illinois American Water Awards Nearly $85,000 in Firefighter Grants

Since 2010, over 945 grants totaling over $940,000 have been awarded to Illinois fire and emergency organizations in the Illinois American Water’s service areas

Nearly $85,000 has been awarded to 85 Illinois fire departments and districts through Illinois American Water’s 2023 Firefighter Grant Program. Since the program was created in 2010, over 945 grants totaling over $940,000 have been awarded to fire and emergency organizations serving customers in Illinois American Water’s service area.

“We know how important water is in protecting homes and businesses. We also understand resources to our local heroes can run short. We created this program to support our heroes in a meaningful way,” said Rebecca Losli, Illinois American Water President. “The organizations will utilize these funds to keep our customers and communities safe in emergency situations.”

Illinois American Water’s Firefighter Grant Program awards grants to provide personal protective gear, communications equipment, firefighting tools, water handling equipment, training materials and classroom programs.

The firefighter grants are being announced in conjunction with National Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 8 - Oct. 14, 2023, to raise awareness about the importance of fire prevention and emergency planning. This year’s Fire Prevention Week theme is “Cooking safety starts with you.” It educates about the simple but important actions everyone can take to keep themselves and those around them safe when cooking.
