• Restoring and enhancing the environment

Education

Every year we seek new ways to help improve education in Alabama by supporting innovative programs and assisting teachers in their crucial responsibilities. Read our Grant Guidelines.

Communities

We believe that an informed and active population is key to a vibrant community. The Alabama Power Foundation prepares communities for economic development through its support of museums, neighborhood revitalization projects and historic restorations — projects that can spur additional private investment in underserved and underutilized communities. We encourage the diversity of our communities by supporting a wide range of programs that represent the multicultural population of our state.

Arts and culture

Lives are enriched through arts and humanities. The Foundation partners with local leaders to make visual and performing arts more accessible, to support libraries and to encourage greater understanding about the importance of culture to communities.

Environment

Protecting and expanding awareness about Alabama's unique and fragile environment is a major component of the Foundation's mission. We support a variety of environmental and educational initiatives involving schools, organizations and communities.
