About the company
National Ground Water Association, Inc., doing business as NGWA, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Westerville, Ohio that operates as a federal grant sub-recipient focused on private drinking water well owner education and groundwater quality outreach to federal agencies including the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Agriculture. The organization's federal work centers on training delivery, website development and maintenance for well-owner educational resources, and public health education materials rather than traditional contracting; recent activity across a twenty-award portfolio shows sporadic engagement with low-dollar individual transactions ($410 thousand combined potential value) but significantly higher cumulative obligated amounts reflecting prior-year grants fully invoiced.
NGWA's customer base tracks across eight distinct federal agencies, with the Environmental Protection Agency leading by award count (8 awards across the Office for Water and Office of Research and Development) and the Department of Agriculture's Rural Housing Service anchoring the largest single award at $200 thousand. The Department of Health and Human Services appears twice, split between the Indian Health Service (3 awards, $70 thousand combined potential value) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Pittsburgh office (2 awards, $128 thousand combined potential value). NGWA's awards span grant sub-recipient positions (80% of activity) and one contract prime award — a $25 thousand purchase order from the Indian Health Service in March 2023 for ground water training delivery.
The organization's federal grant work concentrates on private well owner engagement, particularly through recurring sub-grant awards from the Rural Community Assistance Partnership Incorporated under EPA cooperative agreements. Recent sub-recipient deliverables (2021 through October 2025) center on WellOwner.org website optimization, search engine marketing to reach private well owners across the fifty states, U.S. territories, and tribal nations, website maintenance and security updates, development and distribution of Well Owner Guide Booklets in English and Spanish, and content management to address water testing, treatment, and maintenance challenges. The awards show sustained engagement—sub-awards in September 2021, October 2023, October 2024, and October 2025—indicating a recurring grant stream that NGWA holds as a qualified training and technical assistance provider. NGWA maintains The Groundwater Foundation as a named nonprofit subsidiary. Activity across the portfolio is episodic rather than concentrated; yearly award counts peak at one or two per annum since 2016, reflecting the nonprofit's role as a subject-matter authority and educational content provider rather than a volume federal contractor.
