The Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation recently awarded $3.5 million in grants to nonprofit organizations across multiple states, including for a pediatric mental health program here in Hampton Roads.

The Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters received a grant to help provide mental health services for children and community outreach across the state. It was one of 388 organizations across the Dominion Energy footprint to receive the grants.

The grants support a variety of programs and services, including environmental education programs for school children, expanding access to homeownership for families, strengthening housing, food, and health services for veterans and military families, supporting teens and young adults transitioning from foster care, reducing food insecurity and health disparities.

“These grants are about helping our neighbors in need, whether that means putting food on the table, finding a home, or enhancing health and wellness,” said Hunter A. Applewhite, president of the Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation. “We’re committed to supporting nonprofits that are doing important work in the regions Dominion Energy serves. Together, we’re helping our communities grow stronger and more vibrant every day.”

Funding is available to organizations in areas where Dominion Energy provides electricity or natural gas or has significant business interests. These include Virginia, South Carolina, northeast North Carolina, and parts of West Virginia, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.

Applications for the next round of grants will be accepted from Jan. 12 to Feb. 20, 2026. Find more information here.
