Community Vital Signs
About Us
The generosity of Alabama's Tennessee Valley Authority has been on full display this week in the form of grants to area non-profit organizations.
WAFF reports the grants, part of the fourth round of TVA Cares funding, went to projects that address literacy, hunger, access to the arts, and providing students with sensory issues to take a break.
The projects had to have at least one of TVA's core priorities, including education, workforce development, arts and culture, diversity and inclusion, community enrichment, disaster relief, and emergency response, health, hunger, and housing, and innovation.
