The Dominion Foundation will award approximately $300,000 in total educational partnership grants throughout targeted areas in the states of Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, and West Virginia. Public and private elementary and secondary  schools and public school divisions registered with the National Center for Educational Statistics, institutions of higher education, and 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations are invited to apply.

Successful grant proposals will represent innovative and promising ideas, teach math and/or science skills, reach a significant number of students, and demonstrate broad-based community support. Proposals must align with one of the following target areas: 1) Environmental Education — grants to develop math and/or  science skills through the study of the environment; and 2) Energy Grants — grants to increase students’ awareness of energy efficiency and conservation, energy sources, or other energy-related topics.
