The PPL Foundation is pleased to announce that it is doubling its annual donation to the Good Neighbor Energy Fund this year from $200,000 to $400,000. This significant increase in the foundation’s support complements PPL Electric Utilities’ strong commitment to assisting local families in need and strengthening the community.

The Good Neighbor Energy Fund, administered by the Lehigh Valley Community Foundation, is designed to address the growing energy cost burdens faced by households in eastern and central Pennsylvania. Grants are awarded to nonprofits with existing utility assistance programs, which then provide crucial support to households earning up to 300 percent of the federal poverty level, with aid capped at $1,000 per household.

Through strategic partnerships, the PPL Foundation supports nonprofit organizations that are engaged in innovative and groundbreaking work to create vibrant, sustainable communities and support children’s success from cradle to career in both Pennsylvania and Rhode Island.
