Duke Energy
Community and service are embedded in everything Duke Energy does, and the Duke Energy Foundation’s philanthropic investments reflect a deep commitment to strengthening the communities where customers live and work. Through its focus on K-to-career readiness, environmental stewardship, and community impact, Duke Energy is helping build healthier, more resilient futures.
This year, Duke Energy’s investment in the YMCA of the Triangle’s Financial Assistance Program directly advances those priorities. By providing access to YMCA membership, after-school care, summer day camp, swim lessons, youth sports, and wellness programs, Duke Energy is supporting children and teens during critical developmental years—helping them build confidence, leadership skills, academic readiness, and lifelong healthy habits that contribute to future success in school, careers, and life.
These scholarships also strengthen families by ensuring parents can remain engaged in the workforce while their children are in safe, enriching environments. Through programs that promote physical health, water safety, social connection, and personal responsibility, Duke Energy’s generosity improves health outcomes, fosters changemakers, and helps create strong, stable communities.
Together, Duke Energy and the YMCA are not only meeting immediate needs—but investing in long-term community impact that benefits individuals, families, and the region as a whole.
