Dominion Energy is once again starting the new year by awarding hundreds of critical community needs grants to help feed, shelter and care for people in need. This year, $1.6 million will be shared by more than 200 nonprofit organizations providing essential human services in 12 states. This is the fourth year the company has awarded more than $1 million to meet critical community needs. “Each year we look at ways to support charitable organizations that work day-in and day-out to make a positive impact in our communities,” said Hunter A. Applewhite, president of the Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation. “These grants will help provide the food, shelter and medical care needed by many for a better life.”

In addition, SCANA companies that are now part of Dominion Energy awarded similar community needs grants of more than $186,000 in 2018 to 31 non-profit organizations in North and South Carolina for food, shelter and medical care.
