The CenterPoint Energy Foundation is accepting applications for its first 2024 grant cycle through Feb. 16.
CenterPoint Energy Inc. serves more than 7 million metered customers in Indiana, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Ohio and Texas.
The foundation awards grants to eligible organizations and programs supporting community vitality and education. Priority consideration is given to programs serving low-to-moderate income families and under-resourced communities.
In 2023, the foundation’s commitment to community engagement and development was demonstrated through contributions, including more than 90,000 volunteer hours and the awarding of $14.8 million in grants across Indiana, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Ohio and Texas.
Highlighting the scope and impact of this support through the foundation’s six-state footprint, some of the most notable projects of 2023 include the Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in Indiana. In partnership with the state, the foundation provided a $725,000 grant to expand Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library into four new counties and continued support for eight other counties, including Jackson. As a result of the foundation’s donations, more than 164,000 books were distributed in 2023.
