Partners in Positive Change
Every day, the Alabama Power Foundation creates opportunities by tailoring layered approaches to meet the unique needs of Alabama’s communities, from small rural towns to growing urban centers. Through volunteer support and grant funding, we invest in five focus areas: Health and Human Services, Environmental Stewardship, Arts and Cultural Enrichment, Educational Advancement, and Civic and Community Development. Let the impact of our past projects inspire what is possible next.

Driving Growth
We are the state's largest corporate foundation, funded entirely through resources independent of Alabama Power's customers. We seek out and assist nonprofit partners who spread the most good. We accomplish this by balancing volunteer support, organizational support, promotional support, and financial support.
