Tennessee American Water is accepting applications for its 2018 Environmental Grant Program.
The program supports innovative, community-based environmental projects that improve, restore or protect watersheds and water sources through partnerships, according to a news release.
“Diverse activities like watershed cleanups, water quality monitoring, biodiversity projects, streamside buffer restoration projects, wellhead protection initiatives and hazardous waste collection efforts are examples of projects supported through this grant program,” the release states.
Last year, Tennessee American Water awarded $10,000 in total grant funding between three organizations.
“One of our key values is environmental leadership, which extends beyond the quality of our water,” said Valoria Armstrong, Tennessee American Water president. “Our environmental focus also includes supporting community projects that involve residents and protect our natural water sources and watersheds.”
