The awards program recognizes the nonprofit community's work along with the individuals and businesses that support them.

Cal Water's East Los Angeles and Rancho Dominguez Districts serve a population of about 530,000 in Los Angeles County.

Cal Water has also established its own focused initiatives and gives back through its Firefighter Grant Program, College Scholarship Program, and H2O Challenge water education program. Additionally, Cal Water encourages its employees to volunteer their time to local organizations and matches employees' charitable contributions.

Kropelnicki, Cal Water President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are honored to be recognized by the Los Angeles Business Journal and congratulate the other finalists in our category for their critically important work in the community, namely AltaMed, Armanino, Farmers & Merchants Bank, and Verizon."
