Residential electricity and natural gas supply
customers can nominate their favorite local project or cause for
funding
In celebration of Giving Tuesday, Constellation today
named 99 new grant recipients through its Community Champions
program donating nearly $50,000 to community organizations in 15
states 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 February 1, 2016.
“Constellation is pleased to support our customers’ dedication
to giving back to their communities,” said Bruce Stewart, senior
vice president and chief marketing officer for Constellation. “In
just two short years, Community Champions has awarded over $170,000
in funding to more than 330 projects that have made significant
educational and environmental impacts in the communities we
serve.”
Constellation customer Cinda Haruch will use her $500 Community
Champions grant to support the Sequoyah High School Winter Guard
Program in Canton, Ga.
“Our Winter Guard team is in need of mobile flooring in order
for the students to continue to perform,” said Haruch.
“Constellation’s Community Champions grant has provided critical
funding to purchase much needed equipment in a year when family
hardships have led to a budget shortfall.”
Bridging for Tomorrow will use their $500 Community Champions
grant to subsidize the cost of snacks for their Values Club, an
anti-bullying program that teaches students from three Houston-area
elementary schools kindness and how to handle potential aggressors
at school.
Other Constellation customers have used grants to support the
award-winning Austin Playhouse at Stephen F. Austin High School, in
Sugarland, Texas and to purchase wooden frames to present
certificates of recognition to military veterans and their families
through Hospice of the Chesapeake’s “Honor Salute” program. A full
list of grant recipients can be viewed here.
Customers are encouraged to go online to nominate their favorite
local project or cause. To apply,
