KeySpan established KeySpan Foundation on December 11, 1998 to establish a lasting legacy built around its belief in and commitment to the communities it serves. The company provided a $20 million endowment as an outgrowth of that passion. In September 2000, KeySpan enhanced its commitment with an additional gift of $10 million.
In 2007 National Grid acquired KeySpan, and the Foundation became known as National Grid Foundation. National Grid provided the Foundation with a $5 million gift. Since its inception, the Foundation has provided more than $23 million in grants to nearly 1,000 non-profit organizations across its grant-making territory.
National Grid Foundation is more than a funding source. Through our partnerships, we are afforded the opportunity to work with a host of diverse non-profit organizations. Our experience has shown that by working together we can bring about change that inspires people and transforms communities.
