Appalachian Power employees play an important and active part in the communities where they live and work. Our involvement ranges from sponsoring our employees’ activities in their communities to sponsoring major community events.

We encourage employee involvement through our parent corporation’s AEP Connects Volunteer Grants program, which recognizes the commitment our employees demonstrate and supports causes they believe in by awarding grants to the organizations they serve.

Appalachian Power is also a financial supporter of non-profit organizations whose focus is improving the quality of life. Appalachian Power is proud to be a partner in education -- through workshops, initiatives and educational resources -- to thousands of teachers and students, particularly in grades pre-K to 12. Through our economic development efforts, Appalachian Power strives to make certain our communities remain vibrant and strong.

We know more about electricity than we do baseball or running, but we do know a lot about community involvement. Two examples of our community involvement include the Appalachian Power Festival Run and our relationship with the West Virginia Power.
