The CenterPoint Energy Foundation is currently accepting applications for its first 2025 grant cycle through Feb. 14.
Funded separately and financially independent from the utility, the CenterPoint Energy Foundation strives to be a catalyst for good in the communities it serves by leveraging everyday opportunities and resources to increase the vibrancy of these communities.
Grants are awarded to eligible nonprofit organizations whose primary business address is in CenterPoint’s service area in Indiana, Minnesota, Ohio and Texas and has programs that support the Foundation’s giving priorities of community vitality and education. Community vitality includes projects promoting affordable housing, environment and quality of place initiatives. Education grants focus on literacy, STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) and workforce development programs.
Priority consideration for grant funding is given to programs that serve low-to-moderate income families and under-resourced communities and provide increased access to nonprofit programs and services.
