Since 2018, the Avangrid Foundation has committed to the American Red Cross as a Disaster Responder partner. No strangers to emergency response and often working alongside the Red Cross in disasters, this investment in our fellow First Responders provides one of the highest levels of support toward relief efforts across the nation.

In February 2019, the Foundation announced a $1 Million, three-year partnership with the nation’s largest private conservation grant-maker, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF). The largest multi-year grant the Foundation has made to date, the funding with go to support three NFWF initiatives.

The National Building Museum in partnership with the Avangrid Foundation, will bring the traveling and immersive exhibit “Evicted” to more than a dozen cities across the United States over the next four years. Based on the Pulitzer-prize winning work “Evicted: Poverty and Progress in the American City” by Princeton-based Dr. Matthew Desmond the exhibit uses data and storytelling to speak to issues at the root of what it means to “build community.”

The Avangrid Foundation is a leading funder of the Working Cities Challenge (WCC) a series of funding competitions focused on systems change offered to qualifying communities in New England by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston.
