Our Commitment

As a keystone in each of the communities we serve, the PPL Foundation contributes millions of dollars annually, partnering with nonprofit organizations working in the following areas.

Education

Building a strong foundation is critical
to the success of today’s students.
Contributions in this area will support
equitable and engaging high-quality
educational opportunities for all
students, with a particular emphasis
on those in need. Programs
supported through grants include, but
are not limited to — early childhood
education, science, technology,
engineering and math (STEM)
programs, literacy, summer learning
and career and college preparatory
programs.

Diversity & Inclusion

We support communities where all
are respected, valued and free to

Toward that end, the foundation
seeks to fund programs expanding
opportunities for underserved
communities and advancing equity
and inclusion.

Sustainable Communities

Sustainable communities are safe,
strong, growing and well-positioned
to meet residents’ current and future
needs. Contributions in this area
