American Water Teams Up with United Way for 2025 NYSE Global Giving Campaign
On December 3, 2025, American Water, the largest regulated water and wastewater utility in the United States, proudly announced its selection of United Way as its charity of choice for the New York Stock Exchange's
2025 Global Giving Campaign. This campaign encourages listed companies to share their philanthropic efforts and raise awareness for organizations they support.
Angela F. Williams, President and CEO of United Way Worldwide, expressed gratitude for the recognition. She stated, "United Way is honored to be selected by American Water as their charity of choice for the New York Stock Exchange's 2025 Global Giving Campaign. American Water and its employees are invaluable partners to United Way in accomplishing our shared mission to build thriving communities. As we enter this year's season of giving—a time when many of our neighbors need a helping hand—United Way is grateful for American Water's spirit of generosity that I am confident will spread through communities across the country."
Each year, American Water encourages its employees to contribute to United Way’s initiatives through various fundraising campaigns and events. Over the last decade, the company along with its employees and the American Water Charitable Foundation has generously donated around
$3 million to support United Way’s community impact efforts across the nation. This active involvement champions the mission of United Way and helps create a positive social impact in local communities.
Aaron Musgrave, Vice President of Investor Relations at American Water, commented on the collaboration, stating, "American Water is honored to recognize United Way as part of the NYSE's 2025 Global Giving Campaign. We, alongside our employees and the American Water Charitable Foundation, are dedicated to supporting organizations that effect positive change within the communities we serve."
As part of the recognition, American Water and other participating companies are featured on the Global Giving Campaign website, showcasing their charitable organizations. Additionally, each company is honored with a custom ornament displayed on the holiday trees in front of the NYSE. This year’s
102nd Annual Tree Lighting is scheduled to take place in Experience Square at the NYSE on December 4, 2025.
