Residential electricity and natural gas supply
customers can nominate their favorite local project or cause for
funding
Constellation today named 80 new grant recipients through its
Community Champions program, donating more than $39,000 to
community organizations focused on education, youth development and
environmental projects. Constellation’s Community Champions allows
the company’s residential electricity and natural gas supply
customers to nominate a local project or cause for grant funding.
The next deadline for grant submissions is September 15, 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.
“Since the program’s inception in 2013, Constellation’s Community
Champions Program has awarded over $260,000 in funding to more than
520 projects that have made significant educational and
environmental impacts in the communities we serve.”
Constellation customer Cecelia Smith will use her $500 Community
Champions grant to transform a former metal working classroom into
a dance studio for Workshop Houston. Workshop Houston offers
creative, technical and education resources through a variety of
programs for Houston youth.
“These ambitious programs and activities continue to strengthen
and grow the positive community that both supports and sustains our
organization,” said Smith. “Thank you so much for all that you have
done to assist in changing the lives of our students.”
Eve Longlade’s $500 Community Champions grant enriched the
annual Science Fair at Watchung Elementary School in Montclair New
Jersey.
“We used the funds to host an ‘insect experience,’ where
children interacted and learned about common and exotic insects
including tarantulas, scorpions, and Madagascar hissing
cockroaches," said Longlade. “The grant paid for experiences,
supplies and ingredients that took our science fair from ordinary
to extraordinary!"
Customers are encouraged to go online to nominate their favorite
