About The Grant
The FirstEnergy Foundation's contributions to local nonprofit organizations help strengthen the social and economic fabric of our communities. Funded solely by FirstEnergy, the Foundation believes the greater good is better business.
Including health and human services agencies, educational organizations, cultural and arts programs and institutions, and civic groups.
Backed by our vision to invest in transformative causes that enhance the vitality, sustainability and diversity of the communities we serve, we support nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations within the service areas of FirstEnergy operating companies, including Ohio Edison, The Illuminating Company and Toledo Edison in Ohio; Met-Ed, Penelec, Penn Power and West Penn Power in Pennsylvania; Jersey Central Power & Light in New Jersey; Mon Power and Potomac Edison in West Virginia and Maryland; and where we conduct business.
The FirstEnergy Foundation priorities:
• Improving the quality of life in our communities and supporting key safety initiatives
• Empowering our communities’ workforce development and educational initiatives
• Promoting local and regional economic development
• Supporting employee leadership and volunteer interests that align with our business interests
