ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Missouri fire departments and emergency response organizations will receive $40,000 through Missouri American Water’s 2025 Firefighter Grant Program. The annual program provides supplemental funding for critical equipment, training, and community education. Approximately 330 grants have been awarded since the program began in 2016.
