Community Champions

Supporting Our Customers

At Constellation, we believe in giving back to the community – and know that a few dollars can go a long way. Through our Community Champions program, our customers can apply for small grants (up to $500) for causes that are important to their communities. Extra consideration will be given to those requests where the project, organization, or initiative focuses on education, environment, or youth. Since its inception, we have awarded nearly 2,500 community projects across 28 states where we do business.

Some examples of causes supported through the program include:

Community tree planting
Mentoring program
Library/recreation center makeover
Youth sports

Please note:

Customers and organizations are eligible to receive one Community Champions grant award per 12-month period.
Constellation is unable to provide grants to houses of worship. However, Constellation is able to provide grants to food pantries and other affiliated community programs as long as those programs operate under a separate EIN.

For individual schools:

Constellation generally does not provide support to individual schools, as they typically are not listed in the IRS Exempt Organizations Business Master File. In order to support an individual school, the EIN provided in the application must be registered via the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search: Results for Tax Exempt Organization Search (irs.gov)
