1881 Society

In recognition of a life time of giving, members of the 1881 Society are philanthropic leaders who recognize the importance of training and educating our current workforce while advancing future generations of water professionals. They also recognize the importance of safe and clean water delivery for all communities.

Through the 1881 Society, AWWA is pleased to recognize cumulative gifts of $1,000 and above. The 1881 Society is named after the year AWWA was established by 22 visionaries seeing the need to collaborate and to build a vital Association.

Your gift will recognize the importance of properly maintaining and advancing future generations of water professionals and systems.

Circle of Giving

What can a group of intelligent, caring and focused women accomplish? ANYTHING!

That is the reason AWWA’s Water Equation is creating the Women for Water Circle of Giving to benefit youth programs in the water industry.

Join us

The Plan

As a member of this illustrious group, you will be asked to suggest a youth program to fund to benefit students as well as the water industry. Your group vote will determine the programs to fund and the impact on your community and others across the nation.

Our Impact

Join Now

Take your place amongst the Women for Water promote the water industry through youth programming. You can choose to make a monthly gift of $83.33, a quarterly gift of $250 or an annual gift of $1,000 by June 1, 2023 on our Women for Water website.
