Since its founding in 1816, BGE has partnered with Maryland
communities to enhance our neighborhoods. Through the use of
shareholder dollars, BGE supports programs that deliver measurable

environment, education, economic and community development, and
emergency response and safety.
BGE’s corporate citizenship aligns with its parent company,
Exelon Corporation. As part of Exelon’s 2012 merger, Exelon and its
subsidiaries committed to maintaining an average of $7 million in
annual charitable giving for 10 years. The BGE Green Grants program
fulfills part of that commitment.
