Grants from the Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation are distributed in four focus areas (human needs, environmental stewardship, education, community vitality) and are limited to organizations defined as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code.
Grant applications will be accepted online during two annual grant cycles, one in the spring and one in the fall.
Most grant awards range from $1,000 to $15,000, while higher amounts may be awarded when a program is an exceptional fit. We often receive funding requests far in excess of our Foundation budget. Regrettably we must often decline support for otherwise worthy proposals. Such a response does not reflect on Dominion Energy's view of the value of the organization or its services.
New for 2025
Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation now requires organizations applying for grants to have a completed cause profile with Benevity.
If your organization already has a Benevity cause profile, ensure your Self-Certification Declaration is completed. If your declaration is expired, you will need to renew it. Please do so before starting your grant application. You will not be able to apply until these responses are completed.
If you need further assistance, please submit a Help ticket.
The Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation will accept grant requests during two grant cycles each year. The most recent grant cycle closed on September 12, 2024. View a list of grant recipients.
| Grant Cycle Opens | Application Deadline | Expected Decision Notification |
|---|---|---|
| January 13, 2025 | February 24, 2025 | May |
| August 4, 2025 | September 15, 2025 | November |
We will host virtual office hours during each grant cycle to answer questions from non-profit organizations about the grant process, timeline, applications and the Benevity platform.
The primary interest of our foundation is to support programs and specific projects. Consequently, support of capital campaigns is limited and provided on an exceptional basis. We do not typically fund university research projects or endow chairs.

Note to organizations in Ohio, Utah, and North Carolina:
In 2023, Dominion Energy announced that Enbridge would acquire Dominion Energy Ohio, Dominion Energy Utah/Wyoming/Idaho and Dominion Energy North Carolina gas. Due to this transition, the Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation is no longer making grants in these areas. Further information about Enbridge’s grant application process will be communicated by Enbridge pending each utility’s close. Enbridge is committed to maintaining a significant presence in the communities it serves, supporting local charitable organizations, promoting economic development, and delivering programs and services that customers value.
