Duke Energy offers $200,000 in grants to help nonprofits that support senior citizens in South Carolina
Duke Energy has launched a $200,000 grant campaign to support South Carolina organizations serving the aging population, particularly those facing income challenges. Qualifying nonprofits can apply for one-time grants up to $10,000 for general operating expenses through January 28.
The initiative follows previous support programs, including 2023 grants of up to $20,000 to 15 nonprofits for senior home repairs, and $100,000 in 2024 to 13 organizations for home ramp programs. The funds can be used for meal delivery assistance, transportation, home modifications, and programs supporting senior safety and self-sufficiency, but not for weatherization or utility assistance.
This initiative is part of the Duke Energy Foundation's broader philanthropic efforts, which provide over $30 million annually to communities where Duke Energy customers live and work. The company serves 8.4 million electric customers and 1.7 million natural gas customers across multiple states.
Duke Energy ha lanciato una campagna di sovvenzioni da 200.000 dollari per supportare le organizzazioni della Carolina del Sud che servono la popolazione anziana, in particolare quelle che affrontano sfide di reddito. Le organizzazioni no-profit che soddisfano i requisiti possono fare domanda per sovvenzioni una tantum fino a 10.000 dollari per le spese operative generali fino al 28 gennaio.

I fondi possono essere utilizzati per assistenza nella consegna di pasti, trasporto, modifiche abitative e programmi che supportano la sicurezza e l'autosufficienza degli anziani, ma non per l'isolamento termico o assistenza per le utenze.
