• Nearly $1 million awarded to nonprofit organizations
CAYCE, S.C. – (May 27, 2025) – More than 100 South Carolina-based nonprofits will receive
grants from the Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation to support human needs,
environmental stewardship, education, and community vitality.
The company this week announced the first round of its shareholder-funded grants for 2025.
This year, the foundation awarded approximately $10 million to more than 350 nonprofits in six
states across the Dominion Energy footprint.
“Dominion Energy South Carolina is proud to be an integral part of the communities we are
privileged to serve, and these local nonprofits provide critical programs where we live and
work,” said Keller Kissam, President of Dominion Energy South Carolina. “Our commitment,
however, extends far beyond our foundation, as our family of employees devotes hundreds of
volunteer hours each year to these impactful organizations that offer hope and transformation
throughout South Carolina.”
The funding supports a variety of programs and services, including access to healthy meals for
seniors, environmental projects, mental health services at community clinics and children’s
education programs, among other causes. They include:
- Cola Town Bike Collective – Columbia, SC – The grant will fund the Reliable
Transportation Initiative, which gives bikes to individuals who lack reliable
transportation to get back and forth from their jobs, grocery store, health services, or
other vital needs. These donated bikes are serviced and provided to their new owner at
no cost.
- Hopeful Horizons – Beaufort, SC – The grant will fund Hopeful Horizons’ mission of
providing safety, hope, and healing to survivors of child abuse, domestic violence, and
sexual assault and to lead in ending abuse through primary prevention and education.
Hopeful Horizons is the only children's advocacy, domestic violence, and sexual assault
victim services organization that serves Beaufort, Allendale, Colleton, Hampton, and
Jasper counties.
- Sea Island Habitat for Humanity – Johns Island, SC – The grant will fund a project to
build two affordable homes in the town of Ravenel. Construction will be done with
volunteer labor, and work will begin in the next month. Funds will be used to help pay
for construction materials, such as siding, framing lumber, and roofing materials.
The grants are available to organizations in areas where Dominion Energy provides electricity or
natural gas or has significant business interests. These include Virginia, South Carolina,
northeastern North Carolina, and parts of West Virginia, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.
