Empowering Community Grants

The PPL Foundation awards $1.5 million annually in grants to nonprofits organizations working to improve the communities we serve in Pennsylvania and Rhode Island.

United Way

Thanks to PPL Foundation’s dollar-for-dollar match of PPL employee and retiree contributions, around $10 million annually goes to support local United Way organizations. These funds help address critical needs, such as food insecurity, housing, education and health services.
