The Avangrid Foundation, the philanthropic arm of leading energy company Avangrid Inc., a member of the Iberdrola Group, announced it has opened applications for its 2025 Wildlife Rehabilitation Grant Program. The Foundation welcomes eligible wildlife organizations within its service areas to apply by midnight, October 15, 2025.

“Wildlife rehabilitation and conservation is deeply connected to our values at Avangrid,” said Avangrid CEO Jose Antonio Miranda. “Through the Foundation, we are proud to support local organizations that protect habitats, care for animals, and inspire environmental stewardship in the communities we serve.”

“Each year, our Wildlife Rehabilitation Grant Program continues to expand its reach and deepen its impact,” said Pablo Colón, Director of Corporate Citizenship and Executive Director of the Avangrid Foundation. “Last year’s record-breaking funding expanded veterinary care for emergency response efforts, helped build advanced rehabilitation facilities, and amplified community engagement and education of wildlife conservation. We are excited to see the dedication, creativity, and expertise of this year’s applicant pool as we continue championing a healthier planet for all.”
