Corporate and Foundation Giving
Entergy’s Corporate Giving programs include cash as well as in-kind
contributions that address myriad community needs: arts and culture, community
improvement and enrichment, education and literacy, the environment and
healthy families.
Open Grants
Entergy’s Open Grants Program focuses on improving communities as a whole. We
look for giving opportunities in the areas of arts and culture; community
improvement/enrichment; and healthy families. While we will accept
applications from educational and environmental programs, these areas are
primarily funded through separate processes.

Entergy Open Grant guidelines and application.
Community Partnership Grants
Entergy's Community Partnership Grants program awards up to $1,000 for
projects that effectively impact education & literacy, community
improvement/enrichment, healthy families, or arts & culture. Grants will be
made only to the following types of organizations: 1) non-profit organizations
that are tax-exempt under section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Tax
Code”), or 2) schools, hospitals, governmental units and religious
institutions providing programs that benefit the public at large. Each
organization may submit only one application per year for a Community
Partnership Grant. Any organization that has received a Community Partnership
Grant for three consecutive years must wait one year before applying again.
Organizations must be located within Entergy’s service territory.
The application period for Community Partnership Grants is January 26 – March
31. Click

United Way Campaigns
Hundreds of employee volunteers participate in the coordination of United Way
campaigns company-wide. A combination of employee and retiree gifts along
with corporate dollars help United Way organizations in communities where
Entergy’s customers and employees live and work.
Matching Educational Gifts
This program offers Entergy full-time employees and retirees the opportunity
to assist the accredited universities, colleges, or secondary schools of their
choice. Entergy will match dollar for dollar employee contributions from $25
to $3,000 annually for high schools, colleges and universities.
The Power to Care
No one should have to choose between food or medicine and electricity. But
sadly, many elderly and disabled individuals face these choices every day.
Through the Power to Care, local nonprofit agencies are able to provide
emergency bill payment assistance to seniors and disabled individuals in
crisis. None of the donations are used for fundraising or administrative
purposes, so 100% of each contribution goes to help those in need. Plus, the
Power to Care doubles the impact of new pledges and one-time donations through
matching shareholder contributions – up to $500,000 annually.

Community Connectors Volunteer Program
The need of an organization isn't always financial. Often people power is just
as critical. Entergy's volunteer program, Community Connectors, recognizes and
encourages the volunteer efforts of Entergy employees and retirees. In
addition to providing communities with volunteer services, the Community
Connectors program gives Entergy volunteers an opportunity to augment
contributions to their communities financially with “Contributions for
Connectors” grants.

the Community Connectors program.

supporting charitable organizations in the diverse communities where Entergy
customers and employees live and work. The Foundation's goal is to support
