As trusted advisors to utilities and local governments, our responsibility extends beyond the boardroom. We work to build sustainable, inclusive communities by supporting organizations that improve access to clean water, support conservation, and make basic needs more affordable.
We prioritize support for underrepresented communities and invest in the next generation of public sector leaders through the Raftelis Leadership Scholarships.
This work is powered by the Raftelis Charitable Gift Fund. Since 2018, this employee-led initiative has channeled over $1 million in company profits and employee donations toward causes that align with our values. Whether through financial grants or local volunteer efforts, we are committed to operating in a socially responsible and deeply impactful manner.
Who we support
Two Raftelis Leadership Scholarships have been established to support and foster relationships with promising students who are interested in becoming problem solvers for local governments and municipal utilities.
Our ideal scholarship candidate is interested in a career in consulting. Students with diverse backgrounds and experiences are highly encouraged to apply.
Successful applicants have demonstrated leadership ability and achieved strong academic results. Although a specific major is not required, students with majors in business, finance, communications, public affairs, economics, marketing, and government relations are well-aligned with the types of majors held by many of our employees. Above all, we are looking for well-rounded students with initiative and experience they would like to share with our company and our clients.
