Emphasizing commitment to community vitality and education, Foundation welcomes applications through July 26

The CenterPoint Energy Foundation is currently accepting applications for its second and final 2024 grant cycle through July 26, the organization announced in a June 24 press release.

Funded separately and financially independent from the utility, the CenterPoint Energy Foundation strives to be a catalyst in the communities it serves by leveraging everyday opportunities and resources to increase the vibrancy of these communities. Grants are awarded to eligible nonprofit organizations whose primary address is located in CenterPoint Energy’s footprint and has programs that support community vitality and education. Priority consideration is given to programs that serve low-to-moderate income families and under-resourced communities and provide increased access to nonprofit programs and services.

“We are proud of the impact our foundation has in helping our communities achieve extraordinary outcomes,” said June Deadrick, Vice President, Community Relations at CenterPoint Energy. “Our focus remains on investing in initiatives enhancing lives today, while building a strong foundation for a better tomorrow. We encourage eligible organizations to apply for a grant during this funding cycle.”

In the first cycle of 2024, the CenterPoint Energy Foundation awarded more than $8 million in grants across Indiana, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Ohio and Texas.
