Avangrid Foundation Celebrates the Season of Giving

ORANGE, Connecticut — December 28, 2017 — The Avangrid Foundation, the principal philanthropic arm of AVANGRID, Inc. (NYSE: AGR) and its subsidiary companies, donated nearly $6 million to more than 650 organizations through grants, scholarships and matching gift programs throughout 2017.

Of this, more than $3 million in grants and scholarships supported master’s degree scholars and research partnerships in energy and engineering-related fields during the 2017-2018 academic year. Avangrid Foundation investments are focused on fostering innovation and research, protecting the environment, reaching vulnerable persons and strengthening communities.

“It’s an honor to support the work of so many deserving and impactful organizations and institutions,” said James P. Torgerson, President of the Avangrid Foundation. “AVANGRID is part of the critical energy infrastructure that is central to the well-being of our customers and communities throughout the United States, and so through the Foundation we appreciate the opportunity to partner locally and globally to create meaningful change for those citizens in areas we serve.”

The contributions from the Avangrid Foundation will directly benefit individuals and communities across the AVANGRID service territory in 27 states, including those served by the company’s affiliates, which include NYSEG and RG&E (New York); Central Maine Power and Maine Natural Gas (Maine); United Illuminating, Southern Connecticut Gas and Connecticut Natural Gas (Connecticut); and Berkshire Gas Company (Massachusetts). The contributions also support organizations in communities nationwide served by Avangrid Renewables, which is headquartered in Portland, Oregon.
