Assist with the food, shelter, health, safety and education needs in the counties served by Flint Energies; support worthy charitable organizations and civic groups (does not pay power bills).
Operation Round Up is the defining channel for Flint Energies Foundation Inc, and its grants cluster around food, shelter, health, safety, and education needs in the counties served by Flint Energies. The foundation also supports worthy charitable organizations and civic groups, with a stated emphasis on local community assistance rather than paying power bills. Recent awards show that this mix can include large community grants, scholarship funding, and support for public-service groups. One of the largest recent grants went to Taylor County Development Auth in Butler, Georgia, for $85,000. In 2025, the foundation also gave $50,000 to the City of Warner Robins, a grant that fits its community-serving pattern. Education appears alongside civic support in its grant list, including $40,000 to the University of Georgia for scholarships and $35,500 to South Georgia Technical College for scholarships. The foundation’s grantmaking is built around practical support for organizations and public institutions that serve residents in the areas around its utility service counties.
Education is a recurring theme in Flint Energies Foundation Inc’s recent grants. The foundation gave $40,000 to the University of Georgia for scholarships and $35,500 to South Georgia Technical College for scholarships, showing direct support for students and tuition assistance. Community safety and public service are another clear focus. It awarded $40,000 to Houston County Fire Department in Kathleen, Georgia, and $35,000 to Peach County Fire Department in Fort Valley, Georgia. Civic and community organizations also appear in the grant list, including $32,500 to Museum of Aviation in Warner Robins, Georgia, and $21,375 to Central Georgia Soccer Association in Warner Robins, Georgia for community assistance.
Typical grant sizes cluster in the low five figures: the 25th percentile is $8,000, the median is $10,000, and the 75th percentile is $18,500. That distribution suggests many awards are modest, with some larger grants lifting the average. The recent grant list also shows repeat support for named recipients across multiple years, including Reach Georgia Foundation in both 2023 and 2025. Flint Energies Foundation Inc uses an Operation Round Up grant structure and accepts unsolicited requests through that program.
