Charitable Program that Offers the Public the Power of Giving—
NRG, an electricity supplier based in Philadelphia and a part of
NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NRG), this week kicked-off the
inaugural round of its “NRG Gives” program, the company’s new

Pennsylvania to receive the top award of $100,000. Each nonprofit

Pennsylvania, Gift of Life Family House works to coordinate
life-saving and life-enhancing transplants for those in need.

Alleghenies: Committed to improving the community, this
organization helps support causes from education and community
development to the environment, and everything in between.
“NRG Gives provides our customers and those passionate about
helping others an opportunity to make their communities a better
place for us all,” said Mike Starck, general manager, NRG. “With
the season of giving upon us, it’s the perfect time to raise
awareness for each of these three wonderful organizations, and just
as importantly to engage our friends in the community. We encourage
everyone to take a brief moment to vote often for one of these
nonprofits – it’s as simple as clicking your selection online, all
to give a big boost for even bigger causes.”
