Corporate Partnership

Supporting Rural Utilities

Our corporate partners support the promotional and legislative efforts of the National Rural Water Association. Their support helps ensure the continued funding of water and wastewater systems. This funding directly supports utility upgrades, construction and expansion, as well as providing training and technical assistance to water and wastewater utilities across the nation.

These partnerships allow businesses to support the programs that fund their customers.

NRWA efforts have resulted in Billions of dollars of funding for water utilities.

$1.351 BILLION for the 2012 Rural Utilities Service Loan & Grant Program

$1.525 BILLION for the 2012 Clean Water State Revolving Loan Fund

$919 MILLION for the 2012 Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund

The National Rural Water Association and its state affiliates train over 100,000 water professionals every year, in addition to providing on-site technical assistance to thousands of utilities.

Additional Benefits

The primary benefit of corporate partnerships with the NRWA is continued support for funding to water and wastewater utilities. As a way of saying thanks for supporting those legislative efforts, the NRWA tries to provide additional benefits to its corporate partners. These additional benefits are specifically designed to provide value to corporate partners by deepening their connection with utilities and professionals in the water and wastewater industry.

Sponsorships

NRWA sponsors are corporate partners that have shown the greatest commitment to supporting the rural and small water utilities. These partners receive special recognition at all NRWA events and have access to special promotions. Each sponsorship agreement is individually negotiated.

Exhibit Hall Discounts

NRWA Corporate Partners save when they exhibit during the NRWA Conference each fall - the WaterPro Conference in even years and the H2O-XPO in odd numbered years.

Rural Water Advertising Discounts

Rural Water magazine is the official publication of the National Rural Water Association. Published four times a year, it is the only national publication targeted at the operators and board members of rural and small municipal water utilities. Each issue addresses timely topics and important concerns of the rural water industry. With a readership of more than 26,000 subscribers, and read by over 150,000 water professionals throughout the country, Rural Water provides a chance to reach the decision makers in the water industry.

Webinar Presentations

Water University uses the NRWA Corporate Partners as it's primary selection list when scheduling educational webinar presentations. Corporate Partners can request a slot in the Water University schedule (all presentations are subject to review and approval).  These educational presentations allow our Corporate Partners to demonstrate their knowledge and expertise to a diverse group of their peers which include engineers, regulators, water and wastewater specialists and state circuit rider professionals.
