We look for giving opportunities in the areas of arts and culture, education and workforce development, poverty solutions and social services, healthy families, and community improvement. The arts are expressions of ourselves – our heritage, feelings and ideas. To cultivate that, we support a diverse range of locally based visual arts, theater, dance and music institutions.
Our long-term goal is to increase the access to contemporary art for a wider public, including children and the financially disadvantaged. Community improvement/enrichment Entergy supports community-based projects that focus community enrichment and improvement. A few examples include civic affairs, blighted housing improvements, and neighborhood safety.
By giving to communities in this way, we actually help them become more self-sufficient. Children need a good start to grow into healthy, well-adjusted adults. With that in mind, we give to programs that have a direct impact on children educationally and emotionally.
We’re also interested in family programs, like those that better prepare parents to balance the demands of work and home.
