14 of those recipients will receive Power Grants, which will further support the organization’s work to better connect communities.
These grant recipients deliver strategic programs to the community, enhance sustainability, and engage AES Ohio users in their organizations, the spokesperson said.
AES Ohio Foundation has approved more than $1.3 million in grants.
Grant recipients are selected for their efforts to make a difference in economic development and the arts, poverty reductions, workforce development, and diversity, equity, and inclusion, the spokesperson said.
The foundation has awarded over $45 million in grants to area non-profits since 1985, the spokesperson said.
“We are proud to support these incredible organizations and the great work they do throughout the year. The AES Ohio Foundation is intentional to keep every grant dollar local and we are pleased to continue the longstanding tradition of helping deliver innovative programs and services,” AES Ohio Foundation Board Chair David Crusey said.
