 # Positive NRG: Corporate Philanthropy at NRG

  Campaign:  [NRG Energy | 2017 Sustainability Report](/news/campaign/nrg-energy-2017-sustainability-report)  ![](/sites/default/files/styles/carousel_2x/public/images/Screen_Shot_2018-12-19_at_10.53.31_AM.png) 

PositiveNRG, our corporate philanthropy program, enriches the communities we serve by supporting initiatives that address education, human welfare, the environment, and health and wellness. Learn more about positiveNRG [here](https://www.nrg.com/about/community.html).

The mission of our giving programs, including NRG Gives and Reliant Gives, is to support causes that are important to our employees and communities. Through this crowd-sourced charitable giving program, employees nominate nonprofits, narrow the list of potential recipients down to three, and then the public at large votes for the organizations to receive up to a $100,000 donation. Since the programs began in 2016, nearly two million public votes were received, and the NRG Retail Charitable Foundation donated $840,000 to 26 charities in the communities that Reliant and NRG serve.
