"I continue to be inspired by the generosity, passion, and unwavering commitment of NRG employees for the communities where we live and work. Their readiness to give their time, effort, and care to enrich the lives of others, demonstrates the heart of what it means to truly be part of something greater than ourselves."

Meals for a million
Each year, NRG brings colleagues together for a week-long giving campaign. In 2024, our focus for Impact Week was food security. Employees united across 43 cities in the U.S. and Canada to provide over one million meals for those facing hunger.

Helping through disaster
After Hurricane Beryl made landfall in June 2024, NRG pledged $2 million to assist families in the Houston and surrounding areas to support recovery efforts. This pledge included $1.3 million in customer assistance, $500K in cash and in-kind donations to various charitable organizations, and $250K to the Hurricane Beryl Recovery Fund.
Through these contributions, NRG reaffirmed our dedication to stand with and support the communities we serve in the most critical moments.
20 Years of fundraising for a cure
In April 2024, NRG's cycling team put their pedal strokes to the test and completed a monumental ride commemorating two decades of participation in the Texas MS 150.
For the past 20 years, NRG's cycling team has come together for the late-spring journey, and they've collectively raised over $2.3 million to help fund research, treatment, and support for those affected by multiple sclerosis. This year our team exceeded their fundraising goal, collecting more than $70K in donations — a testament to their unwavering commitment to the cause.
