About The Grant
The AEP Foundation focuses on improving lives through education from early childhood through higher education in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) and by providing support to help meet basic needs such as emergency shelter, affordable housing, and eliminating hunger.
The Foundation also supports organizations whose mission and/or programming is committed to positive social justice outcomes. Other Foundation support may be offered to protect the environment, promote healthcare and safety, and enrich life through art, music, and cultural heritage.
The Following focus areas will be eligible for consideration by the foundation:
Improving lives through education from early childhood through higher education, with an emphasis on the areas of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).
Providing basic human services in the areas of hunger and housing to assure that people have the necessities to build successful lives.
Embracing change and equity through sustainable programs that move social justice forward.
Enriching the overall vitality of the community by improving the environment and people’s lives.
Corporate Giving Guidelines
Contributions are made principally in the areas of education, the environment and human services, such as hunger, housing, health, and safety.
Priority is based on the perceived overall benefit to communities in the company's service area.
In the area of education, preference is given to grades pre-K through 12 in the fields of science, technology and math.
Multi–year commitments to capital campaigns generally do not exceed five years.
AEP and its employees provide strong support to many annual United Way campaigns within our service territory; therefore, additional support to United Way agencies is limited.
