Alabama Power Foundation

Amplifying Our Impact

As Alabama's largest corporate foundation, we are guided by the mission to elevate the state and to improve the quality of life for Alabamians.

What Drives Our Community Investment

In our 37 years of serving Alabamians, we’ve found five focus areas to be consistent, tried-and-true guiding principles.

We know we cannot move our state forward by ourselves. We’re honored to work with our nonprofit partners to drive economic opportunity, reinforce student achievement, make communities healthier, and advance inclusion.

Our core focus areas are

  • Educational Advancement
  • Civic & Community Development
  • Arts & Cultural Enrichment
  • Health & Human Services
  • Environmental Stewardship

Learn About Impact Investing

Impact investing allows the Alabama Power Foundation to create lasting community benefit by providing low cost, mission driven capital to organizations doing charitable work. Through its Program Related Investment program, the Foundation supports nonprofits and purpose driven for profit entities with flexible financing that can be repaid and reinvested to fund future projects. Launched in 2019, this approach has enabled more than $5 million in investments across 24 projects using tools such as balloon loans, convertible notes, lines of credit, and loan guarantees.
