Basic Human Needs Grants

Funding for basic needs in the communities we serve

Basic Human Needs is one of the four focus areas of the Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation.

In 2023, the Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation awarded more than $1 million in grants to nonprofit organizations across the company's footprint that provide critical services to meet the needs of people and the communities we serve. These grants support a wide range of projects including providing housing and shelter, access to medical and mental health services, and increased food security.
