America250 Request for Proposal is sponsored by Duke Energy Foundation. The Duke Energy Foundation's America250 initiative invites grant proposals for community-based projects that advance areas such as "Care for our country," "Careers for veterans," and "Sharing the American story."
While weatherization and energy efficiency projects are generally excluded from their open grants process, the foundation occasionally considers such support as part of prescriptive RFP opportunities. It's worth noting that individual K-12 schools are not directly funded, but grants at the district level are considered.
