A cultural enrichment center in Greene County is one of 40 nonprofits that executives at Duke Energy said on Nov. 10 will receive a portion of $1 million in grants for their work toward racial equity and justice in North Carolina.
“We all have a role and responsibility in advancing justice and equity,” Stephen De May, Duke Energy’s North Carolina president, said in a November release about the initiative. “Duke Energy is committed to creating equal opportunities for the communities we serve, and we’re proud to support organizations already leading this critical work across North Carolina.”
The Rosenwald Center for Cultural Enrichment received $25,000 for its mission to create a more equitable community.
“This investment in our organization and community will allow our continued work toward building a more equitable community through education and advocacy,” Rosenwald Center for Cultural Enrichment founder JoAnn Artis Stevens said in the release.
The energy provider and its foundation committed to a three-year cycle of providing grant funding for organizations promoting social justice in addition to the $1 million the Duke allocated last August, the release said.
