Grant recipients are recognized across four award tiers that celebrate the scope of their mission and community reach:

  • $25,000+ — Power of Clean Partner
  • $10,000+ — Community Clean Champion
  • $5,000+ — Impact Igniter

"Our customers, teams, and communities make this impact possible, and we couldn't be more excited to support nonprofit partners who are driving real change where it matters most."

EWC Cares funding is generated through new express wash grand openings, onsite seasonal air-freshener campaigns, and the year-round Towel Exchange Program offered at all locations. In addition to grant awards, EWC Cares also supports local community organizations through individual sponsorship and donation requests.
