Our firefighters work tirelessly to protect our communities and the safety of Californians every single day. While most people run from danger, these brave men and women run toward it. As part of our gratitude for everything our local heroes do, Cal Water has established our Firefighter Grant Program to support and recognize local fire departments.
Eligibility Criteria
Uniformed fire departments, whether professional or volunteer, that serve at least a portion of one of Cal Water’s service areas in California are eligible for the Firefighter Grant Program. Individuals are not eligible to receive grants through the program. Grants may be used to offset some or all of the cost for:
- Personal protective equipment;
- Firefighting or communications equipment;
- Training and requisite materials; and
- Educational materials used to support fire protection efforts.

Administration
The annual grant program is part of California Water Service Group’s stockholder-funded philanthropic giving program, and grants are not paid for through customers’ rates.
