Partnering to provide food, care and housing in our communities

Supporting nonprofits meeting critical community needs through the Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation.Nestled in the heart of downtown Columbia, South Carolina, the 16-bedroom Ronald McDonald House could be mistaken for a quaint bed and breakfast, but what makes this place unique is the work happening inside its walls to meet the critical needs of the community.
The Ronald McDonald House is a temporary home for families with seriously ill or injured children who are hospitalized. It provides a comforting, safe place where these families can get a hot meal, a shoulder to cry on and now, a little help on their commutes home from hospital visits.
Ronald McDonald House Charities Columbia is one of 206 nonprofit partners across eight states to receive funding through the company’s Critical Community Needs Grants program. In 2021, over $1.5 million was distributed to human service organizations working to fulfill the basic needs of individuals and families in communities that Dominion Energy serves.
The organization’s executive director, Beth Lowrie, says their job is to help families through their children’s medical journey in every way they possibly can. Now, the recent Dominion Energy grant funds provide travel assistance for families on their way home from extended hospital stays.
“This funding from Dominion Energy will help us to assist many families that are facing some of the most difficult times in their lives,” Lowrie said.
From food banks to free medical clinics to transitional housing, many worthy organizations are already hard at work using the funding to fuel their missions.
Below are insights offered from 2021 grant recipients, showcasing the life-altering missions these funds help bring to light.
