Residential electricity and natural gas supply
customers can nominate their favorite local project or cause for
funding
Constellation today named 88 new grant recipients through its
Community Champions program, donating more than $40,000 to
community organizations focused on education, youth development and
environmental projects. Constellation’s Community Champions allows
residential electricity and natural gas supply customers to
nominate a local project or cause for grant funding. The next
deadline for grant submissions is May 15, 2015.
“Constellation is proud to support our residential customers’
efforts to support their communities,” said Bruce Stewart, senior
vice president and chief marketing officer for Constellation.
“Since the program’s launch in 2013, Constellation’s Community
Champions program has awarded over $100,000 in funding to nearly
220 projects nominated by our residential electricity and natural
gas customers. We’re excited to expand the program to our
residential customers across all the states we serve.”
Constellation customer Meredith Donovan will use her $500
Community Champions grant to teach children about issues ranging
from hunger and homelessness to the environment and recycling
through hands-on AmeriCorps Service Learning Projects with
Communities in Schools of the Heart of Texas.
“Students in our program learn that no matter how small they
are, they can still make a difference in the community,” Donovan
said. “Constellation’s grant provides the necessary materials and
support for students to put service learning projects into
action.”
Constellation customer Scott Stewart of Parkville, Maryland will
use his $500 Community Champions grant to support the Baltimore
Saints of the American Special Hockey Association.
“We have over 100 special needs participants in our program,
including players with autism, Downs Syndrome, muscular dystrophy,
and individuals who have suffered traumatic brain injuries,”
Stewart said. “Because our organization is 100% volunteer,
Constellation’s grant will go directly to support our mission of
building self-esteem for players while achieving skating and hockey
skills in a team-building environment.”
Constellation customer Doug King used his $250 Community
Champions grant to fund prizes for the top two teams at the 67th
annual Connecticut Science and Engineering Fair held March 10-14 at
Quinnipiac University.
“This annual fair is a strong contributor to the vitality of
STEM education in Connecticut schools,” King said. “Constellation’s
grant allowed us to provide extra recognition for the most
challenging, highest quality projects, both of which addressed
issues critical to the future of the energy industry.”
