Group Donates Nearly $1.9 Million in 2025

Posted: February 23, 2026

As California Water Service Group (Group) rings in its 100-year anniversary, the company also looks back on last year’s philanthropic giving program. With over $1.88 million donated to local organizations in 2025, contributions made benefited charitable organizations and first responders that share Group’s purpose to enhance the quality of life for those in the communities they serve, along with local students seeking higher education.

“At California Water Service Group, we are more than a water provider, we are part of the communities we serve, and that means going further to improve the lives of those in our service areas,” said Marty Kropelnicki, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Beyond being service-oriented to our customers when it comes to safe, reliable water, Group’s employees have a real heart to support their neighbors in need.”

Donations last year included dollars contributed through Group’s employee charitable matching program, in which the company matches up to $250 per employee’s personal donations to causes important to them each calendar year.

In addition to financial contributions, Group’s held its 3rd annual Season of Service over the holidays, with approximately half of the company’s employees across California, Hawaii, New Mexico, and Washington donating their time and efforts to community volunteer projects.

All contributions are part of Group’s philanthropic giving program and do not affect customers’ rates.
